Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Can a boy-hungry Jersey girl survive the wilds of Canada with her eco-identity intact? A witty new YA novel from the author of SOPHOMORE SWITCH.
Jenna may hail from the burbs of New Jersey, but Green Teen activism is her life. So when her mom suggests they spend the summer at Grandmas Florida condo, Jenna pleads instead to visit her hippie godmother, Susie, up in rural Canada. Jenna is psyched at the chance to commune with this nature shes heard about — and the cute, plaidwearing boys shes certain must roam there. But after a few run-ins with local wildlife (from a larger-than-life moose to Susies sullen Goth stepdaughter to a hot but hostile boy named Reeve), Jenna gets the idea that her long-held ideals, like vegetarianism and conservation, dont play so well with this population of real outdoorsmen. A dusty survival guide offers Jenna amusing tips on navigating the wilderness — but can she learn to navigate the turns of her heart? From the Hardcover edition. About the AuthorAbby McDonald, a recent graduate of Oxford University, made her authorial debut with the critically acclaimed novel SOPHOMORE SWITCH. She lives in London.
