Reviews:
"Great
little chapter book for young adults! What a Year! is packed with insight
into the mind of a twelve-year-old girl. Narrated by Sandy, a girl who has "high
hopes and great expectations" when she begins grade six, the story deals with
issues that many teens face in their families - alcoholism, divorce, remarriage, new
siblings, and more...This is a great chapter book with great messages, and it shows
the 'real world' in a way that is sure to inspire." ~
Cheryl Kaye Tardif, author of Whale Song (2007 Kunati Books)
