An unputdownable YA coming-of-age story…<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shy, awkward Matt Crosby will be joining high school soon, but it seems his middle school friends are already ahead in the game. After the feisty Lia moves in up the street, the two immediately form a connection. When Matt finds Lia sleeping in his treehouse, he realizes there is more to Lia\u2019s story than she lets on. But to be there for Lia, Matt needs to find courage to take a stand for himself first. Well-orchestrated, timely conflicts bestow the novel with weight, giving Matt a greater dimension in the process. The ending is heartbreaking and yet hopeful and satisfying. The journey to it is full of poignant emotions, delivered by Matt and Lia\u2019s strong bond with each other and with Preacher Higgins. Fanning\u2019s assured prose, interesting storytelling, and keen insights keep the pages turning. Finding courage to follow your heart is a familiar theme in numerous YA novels, but the way Fanning conveys it\u2014with heart and poignancy\u2014makes it distinguishable. Fanning is an author to watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
