Missy is having a rough time lately. Her brother Patrick has noticed they are poor and needs her help to raise money for new clothes. Her dad is getting remarried. Her two best friends are away at camp and seem to be growing up and moving on without her. Missy is struggling...but when she and Partick start picking blueberries at a local farm she finds something she enjoys. Until Patrick starts hanging out with a new girl instead of her and the other kids start questioning the truth behind the blueberry fields and an old "blood fued".
So this "coming of age" story was quietly successful. I enjoyed the story and felt that Missy was easy to relate to. My concern is whether my readers will stick with the book since it is so quiet. I had a few issues with references to Patrick and his new girlfriend in her bikini top and when Missy mocked Shauna's assests using apples ;0
Overall a nice book...
