Courtesy of Teens Read Too

Cheryl has moved a lot throughout her life. Due to her father's work on his anthropological book, Cheryl has had to travel with her parents all across Canada as he does research. However, there is one aspect of life in St. John that Cheryl might find pleasing...and his name is Jim. Jim is Cheryl's new next-door neighbor, and he is as fascinated with Cheryl as she is with him, much to her disdain. She would rather pack up everything and head back to the city, but as she gets to know Jim she starts finding herself becoming attached to this little fishing town and the people in it. Lori Weber writes a touching coming-of-age story about a teenage girl who not only struggles to distinguish her home, but also to distinguish who she is. Any girl can relate to Cheryl, knowing the struggles and confusions of teenage life. Through her talent to create a realistic narrator, Weber writes a fascinating book that even throws the reader with a few twists and turns. Reviewed by: Steph
