Flamingnet Student Book Reviewer MCup
Calle Smith knows all about first days of school. Whenever
things don't work out with her current husband/boyfriend,
Calle's Mom flips a coin on a map, and off they go for a
new start. Calle finds a new start in the small town of
Andreas Bay, California. While there, she becomes part of
a group, learns about friendship, and of young love. But
more importantly, Calle learns the secret of why her
mother feels the need to move from place to place.
I
found this book very entertaining. The thing that I loved
about this book is that it shows the secret struggles of
teens in all social groups. Kim Culbertson did a great job
capturing the deeper emotions people hold. Because she
showed that not only did Calle just move to a new town,
she was starting as a Freshman having no knowledge of the
people around her. I recommend this book to girls far and
wide because everyone knows what it's like to feel
alienated and disconnected to the people around
them.
