Country Girl, City Girl Paperback - 2009
by Clough, Lisa
- New
An honest and open look at a young girl experiencing and questioning her sexual awakening.
Phoebe Sharp lives on a small farm in Maine, where she reads fairy tales to her goats and snaps pictures with her Instamatic camera. Phoebe doesn’t have a single friend, never mind a boyfriend. Then she meets Melita. With her caramel-colored skin, stylish clothes, and urban attitude, Melita seems as different from Phoebe as two teenage girls could be.
But over the summer, the girls grow to know each other. As their friendship develops, so do other, more confusing feelings. Could their friendship be deepening into something more?
“[This novel] will appeal to fans of Nancy Garden’s Annie on My Mind.”—VOYA
