AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Juliet and her mom move from the midwest to Ocean Park in California. Juliet is scared of everything and dresses in black and wears goth make-up. She is sure this will be the worst summer ever. Juliet's mother starts a to-do list for her, and Juliet adds to the list herself. She quickly meets Summer, blond, suntanned and beautiful who loves the beach and surfing. The two girls really hit it off and Summer helps Juliet overcome her fright and anxiety issues. Juliet discovers that Summer has some struggles of her own. Can the two friends help each other?
I really enjoyed this book. Juliet and Summer become such good friends. Summer helps Juliet overcome her fears. Summer helps her be brave and try new things, new outfits, boogie boarding, skateboarding and even surfing. I love the way Juliet is no longer afraid of life and living and trying new things. I think a lot of students struggle with things like Summer and Juliet; a parent leaving, death in the family, leaving familiar territory and friends. I highly recommend this book.
