Description:
Can we overcome our past?
Katie Parker is about to get a new life - whether she wants one or not. With her mom in prison, and her father AWOL, Katie is sent to live with a squeaky-clean family who could have their own sitcom. She launches a full scale plan to get sent back to the girls' home when she finds herself in over her head...and heart. When Katie and her new 'wrong crowd' get into significant trouble at school, she finds her punishment is restoring a historic theather with a crazy grandma who goes by the name Mad Maxine. In the midst of her punishment, Katie uncovers family secrets that run deep, and realises shes not the only one with a pain filled past. Katie must decide if she'll continue her own family's messed up legacy or embrace a new beginning in this place called In Between.
Review:
I really enjoyed this book as it is full of all different types of characters from crazy grandmas to estranged daughters. The main character has a wicked sense of humour and makes this book a real laugh out loud comedy despite her past and her situation! I especially loved 'Mad Maxine' she was by far my favourite character always getting up to things and trying to keep them from her daughter.
This book is a nice short comedy although it can be quite poignant in certain areas I would without a doubt recommend it and I cannot wait to read the other four books in this series.
