This book is (Florida beach homes) the second in the series
This book is the second in the series about the kids in a neighborhood in Florida see “Crossing Jordan” for list . The main character is real preteen dealing with the uncertainty of the foster care system. It is a book about a girl who not only survives, but also builds a life for herself and thrives among an unlikely family. She is a character full of life and determination. A great read for 4th grade through beginning high school! This book is full of North Florida local color the real Florida away from the glow of Disney World . I know because it is set in our town and she captures it to a T with all of its fun and quirkiness! It makes a great read aloud! My son begs me to read more each night!! I love the characters in this book. They have flaws and virtues and could all realistically exist in the pretend neighborhood of Anna Casey’s world. which is loosely based on a a very real neighborhood that is located a few blocks from the school where I am a media specialist. Many of the students that have already read, “Crossing Jordan,” eagerly read this second novel of Adrian Fogelin and enjoy it very much. Not only because they recognize characters from the first book, but because there is much adventure and character driven comedy in this book as well.
