My review: LOVED this book! Just like its predecessor, I was sucked in immediately by the reality presented by the author. The situation presented and the characters she wove are so very real, I feel like I have watched this on TV instead of simply reading it! I love books like that! I really like that this book was presented in such a manner that I'd be as comfortable letting my tween niece read it as I would my teenage nieces. I love that Christianity is presented as a way of life and not just an 'add on'! Having taught students with ADD, I thought that the way the character was portrayed was VERY realistic. All in all, wonderful presentation, wonderful story, wonderful book!
