A thoughtful story of conflicting changes and motivations

Magnolia is a novel for young adults about sixteen-year-old Magnolia Holden, who strives to be perfect in everything she does, including earning her private pilot certificate and working as a junior ranger at the state park. But sometimes life itself isn't perfect; one complication after another sets back her plans; perhaps the most thorny problem is that her best friend has fallen for a student pilot who in turn has fallen for Magnolia. Determined to be the first to her pilot certificate, Magnolia loses sight of the reason she wants to fly: to help the environment and the bears she respects so much. A thoughtful story of conflicting changes and motivations, and the difficulties of growing up.

Brought me back...

Magnolia was a smart and wonderful read and I thoroughly enjoyed it! It brought me back to my youth when everything was optimistic and fun and all was possible. A great book/gift for any young person or any older person that needs a reminder of their youth. Magnolia is a role model for anyone... not just teens. I'm looking forward to a sequel!
