![]() ![]() The finely drawn characters capture readers’ attention in this debut.Īutumn and Phineas, nicknamed Finny, were born a week apart their mothers are still best friends. ![]() After a slow start due to the unusual format (a glossary would probably help), this develops into a surprisingly poignant tale of friendship, change, and growth. But best friends are always there for each other, and a series of emergencies pushes them further apart and then brings them back together, closer than ever. Since cynical Maddie can’t cope with Zoe’s emerging faith, and trusting Zoe won’t see anything wrong in her growing relationship with Mr. Angela flits through a series of rotten boyfriends, Zoe discovers Christianity while becoming disturbingly close to her English teacher, and Maddie befriends the class bad girl. ![]() Friends can help each other get through the year, but only if they manage to stay together. Tenth grade is tough, with obnoxious trendy classmates, unfair parents, and sex. Best buds SnowAngel (Angela), zoegirl (Zoe), and mad maddie (Maddie) IM with one another constantly when not in school. Told entirely in instant messages, this modern epistolary tale prompts both tears and LOL (laughing out loud). ![]()
