Very Touching

Back Cover: Everyone says Junior high will be a blast. A new school, boys, and a chance to star in the school musical. But at home, Andrea's world is falling apart. Her parents are always fighting. Her mom's new job means more responsibility for Andrea- and less time to do the things she loves. And now that she's in a new school, Andrea is determined that no one will ever find out about her brother and his "problem" Can Andra keep her family together- and keep their secrets from getting out? And how can the boy at school who seems to hate her possibly be the only one who understandes her? My Review: This is another well written and thought out story. Lurlene did an awesome job of explaining what kids are really feeling when their parents are fighting all the time. I do wish the book was a little longer, I wanted to find out what happens. Overal a good read and one I would recomend to any Jr. High girl.
