Genre: young adult / scenerios
In High Stakes, seniors and best friends, Amber and Brittany,
are neck and neck in a good-natured competition for a car being given away by a
local business.
In Essence of Lilly, sophomore Lilly Armstrong is always looking
for ways to escape the confines of her unhappy home. She “invents” youth group
activities just so she can hang out with her boyfriend, Jason—the only one in
Lilly’s life who makes her feel special.
What happens when Amber and Lilly
are faced with making difficult choices? Will they allow themselves to be
swept away? Readers help Amber and Lilly make the difficult decisions and
see how their choices create consequences with life-altering results.
Decisions, decisions! How is a girl
supposed to choose? Lessons of right and wrong are put to the test in the
Scenarios series, where you can test your decision-making abilities in an
eye-opening, but safe, way. Each book follows a character up to the point where
she has to make an important, life-changing decision—then it’s your turn to
choose. Will your choices lead to a happy ending?
I haven’t read any of the scenario books
up until now and I wasn’t sure what to expect. What it is a partially written
story the you chose the ending. Will the girl make the right choice? Or the
wrong choice? What will be the possible ending to the story?
I have a twelve year old daughter and she
was interested in reading this. I wasn’t real sure about whether or not I
should let her – but both stories opened up opportunities for discussion.
If you are looking for a book that will
hopefully teach your tween / teen girl how to chose the right choice and show
her what might happen with the wrong choice, then SWEPT AWAY would be the
perfect choice. $9.99. 377 pages.
