Sixteen year old Katie Parker is not too excited when she discovers she's moving to a new foster home in In Between, Texas, home of the Chihuahuas. And to top that off, her new "dad" is the pastor of one of the local churches. Not exactly consistent with Katie's formerly religion-less life. At her new school, she finds herself at home with the other outsiders. At least, so she thinks. When one late night stunt turns to trouble, Katie finds herself sentenced to time with her new nonGrandmother-- Mad Maxine. Could things get any worse? And does the God thing really work?
Jenny B Jones tells Katie's story with just the right mix of tenderness, humor, and sarcasm. It was an entertaining read, one I didn't want to put down from the minute I read the first page. Katie is lovable and endearing-- and even Mad Maxine really gets to your heart. She's a trip.
There are three books in the Katie Parker Production series. A new series by Jenny B Jones will be out next spring... can't wait to learn more!
