Wintergirls

Numbers mean everything to Lia....33  is the number of times her former best friend Cassie called before she died....Lia didn't answer. The number that means the most to her is the number on the scale...and in Lia's opinion the number is always too high.  She knows the number of calories in everything and is constantly figuring the least she can eat without raising concern.

Impossible

No, this isn't something that is impossible to do...it's about Nancy Werlin's new book, Impossible!  I just finished reading this over break and could hardly put it down to do all of those items that were on my "to do" list.  It is a great combination of realistic fiction with fantasy woven in.  I'm usually not a big fan of fantasy, but this book made me begin to wonder if that piece wasn't real.  It is a definite page turner with adventure, anguish and hope!
