The Queen of Kentucky
Autor Alecia Whitakeren Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 mar 2013 – vârsta de la 12 ani
Caught between being a country girl and a wannabe country club girl, Ricki Jo begins to forget who she truly is: someone who doesn't care what people think and who wouldn't let a good-looking guy walk all over her.
After a serious incident on Luke's farm, Ricki Jo realizes that being a true friend is more important than being popular... and the one boy who matters most has been next door all along.

Recenzii
"Reading Alecia Whitaker's funny and sweet debut was like spending time with my best friend. Ricki Jo Winstead totally won me over, and she'll win you over, too."—Joanna Philbin, author of The Daughters series
"Whitaker's debut sparkles as she takes the reader on a tour of two unforgettable places: small town Kentucky and the heart of our charming and hilarious narrator, Ricki Jo."—Gwendolyn Heasley, author of Where I Belong
"This coming of age romance... will capture readers with its honesty and heart."—PW
"Whitaker paints a vivid, finely detailed picture of life inthe sometime-hardscrabble heartland. But what draws the reader in is thechaotic precision of her characters, youngsters who are conflicted andfrequently inconsistent, yet feel rounded and real... Solid, just like itssetting."
—Kirkus
"Whitaker's setting is fresh, and readers from ruralareas will recognize the class differences, especially between new money andfarming families. Along with teen concerns like dating, drinking, and cheating,other serious issues are raised... Ericka's first-person voice is sassy andquite believable."

"Credible teen characters, realistic dialogue, and enough drama to engage reluctant readers."—SLJ
"Ericka is forthright and down-to-earth...young readers looking to break out of an old persona into a new one will find both her complaints and her moments of triumph all too familiar. They'll just wish for their own Luke, who clearly wins all awards for best best-friend-turned-boyfriend in a tween novel."—BCCB
