Twigs

"In a charming...small-town drama, Madeline 'Twigs' Henry navigates family secrets, boyfriend troubles and a friendship with a spirited older woman. The larger-than-life characters and gestures bring humor and action to the story.... Twigs is a compellingly flawed character, and [her] growth is palpable." - "Kirkus Reviews"""Twigs" is a unique coming-of-age story with a vivid cast of truly unforgettable characters." - Kieran Scott, author of the "He's So/She's So" trilogy"I think there are many teens out there who can relate to at least one or more of the life-changing events that Twigs goes through, whether it's embarking on the scary adventure of going to college or getting used to a new significant other in their parent's life. I found this book to be entertaining and a great summer read." - "The Real Bookshelves of Room 918""Twigs was easy to relate to. I think that we have all had a time in our lives when it felt like everything was falling apart.... Twigs was so special in a lot of ways...over all I found the book to be a nice read." - "Daydreamer N's Reviews"
