The Summer of Broken Things


















Avery's plans for the summer were to attend soccer camp and hang out with her friends.  She does not want to go to Spain with her dad and especially not with some girl she knew when she was younger.  What is her dad thinking?

Kayla is a bit unsure about traveling to Spain with a family she really hasn't spent much time with.  But it is an opportunity too good to pass up.

Avery and Kayla do not get along at all - but when secret that ties their families together comes to light the girls' lives are changed forever.

I usually love Haddix's work but this one didn't really grab me.  At 400 pages it was quite long.  The "secret" didn't come out til about 1/2 way through.  I felt like the last 75 pages were good.
