When
a
tornado
rips
through
town,
twelve-year-old
Ivy
Aberdeen's
house
is
destroyed
and
her
family
of
five
is
displaced.
Ivy
feels
invisible
and
ignored
in
the
aftermath
of
the
storm--and
what's
worse,
her
notebook
filled
with
secret
drawings
of
girls
holding
hands
has
gone
missing.
Mysteriously,
Ivy's
drawings
begin
to
reappear
in
her
locker
with
notes
from
someone
telling
her
to
open
up
about
her
identity.
Ivy
thinks--and
hopes--that
this
someone
might
be
her
classmate,
another
girl
for
whom
Ivy
has
begun
to
develop
a
crush.
Will
Ivy
find
the
strength
and
courage
to
follow
her
true
feelings?
Ivy
Aberdeen's
Letter

enriches
the

of

characters
who
like
girls--and

Recenzii
"Blake
captures
all
the
exhilaration
of
a
first
crush
without
shying
away
from
Ivy's
confusion....The
sisters'
relationship
is
one
of
the
great
rewards
of
this
novel
that
includes
a
large
and
vivid
cast
of
secondary
characters,
who
give
the
story
its
sense
of
abundant
texture."—The
