New Places, New Faces

By Jennifer Bancroft

Years after the loss of her mother, Andi's life is turned upside down again when her father decides to move them out of the big city and into a small community. While unpacking, she discovers her mother's old journal from when she was Andi's age. Grateful for her mother's words, the journal becomes a source of comfort and wisdom. In "New Places ... Strange Faces," summer is coming to a close and Andi's worry and excitement about starting her first year in a new school begins. Her new friend, Ellie Jacoby, introduces Andi to Daphne Delaney, a rich and popular girl in the town. Andi and Daphne hit it off immediately and spend the end of the summer together. Along the way, Andi tries to include Ellie in the twosome's fun, but is discouraged by Daphne at every turn. Andi feels stuck in the middle between two new and very different friends. Will Andi be forced to choose one over the other? Each "Andi's Journal" book will include additional journal pages in the back for the reader to add their own thoughts and adventures.
