The triplets are discovering this firsthand. It's hard to go from being popular and the center of the action to being a nobody. The boys at least have basketball and each other to fall back on. But DeeDee just doesn't have anyone. However, it seems she's not the only one. Another girl at school seems to need someone to reach out to her as well. Can DeeDee show the love of Jesus in the midst of her own pain? | Extra Notes: | This book was published in 1973, but it feels like it could be today. The absence of references to technology it about all that makes it feel outdated. The kids are in high school dealing with friendships, ski trips, youth groups, relationships, homework, etc. It's all there, all the normal high school life. If you're looking for a realistic book that's a little less filled with sex, drugs, and alcohol than some of the modern ones, this is perfect! | Reviewer: | J:-)mi | Recommendation Scale: | 3 |
