"Out With The In Crowd" Review and Giveaway

NOTE: DON'T FORGET TO SCROLL DOWN AND SIGN UP FOR THE GIVEAWAY OF VICKIE MCDONOUGH'S "THE ANONYMOUS BRIDE". THIS GIVEAWAY ENDS MAY 16TH.





"OUT WITH THE IN CROWD" BY STEPHANIE MORRILL

Skylar Hoyt may have vowed to change her parting ways, but it's not so easy to change her friends. Even though the old Skylar is gone, she's still not sure who this new Skylar really is. add to that two parents battling for her loyalty, a younger sister struggling with a crisis pregnancy, and a new boyfriend wishing for more of her time, and Skylar feels like she can't win. after all, how do you choose favorites among the people you love most?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Stephanie Morrill is a twenty-something living in Kansas with her high school sweetheart -- turned -- husband and their daughter. She is the author of Me, Just Different and loves writing for teens because her high school years greatly impacted her adult life. That, and it's an excuse to keep playing her music really, really loud.

MY TAKE: Even though this book is a Young Adult Fiction I found myself caught up in the lives of this family. The trials that the main character, Skylar, must face while her family seems to be falling apart makes it hard for her to continue down the new path she has chosen -- the path of being a Christian. This book is easy to read and didn't take long to read. Don't let the genre of Young Adult Fiction fool you into thinking this wouldn't be something you would read. There are lessons to be learned for all ages! You can learn more about Stephanie's books at: http://stephaniemorrillbooks.com/

    I have not read any of her books. I am thankful for these types of books and will happily pass them on to my daughter. Being a Christian in school is hard at times. :O)

    I wasn't familiar with any of Stephanie's titles; however, I would like to test out Out With The In Crowd in the classroom to see if I need to add her to my classroom library.
