Amazing Book for Strong Teens
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
When I walked into my school media center, I had seen this book called Lucy Peale. I thought nothing of it. So, I took the book... The cover drew me, the preview of it drew me.. Before I knew it, I was sitting in my car reading it. This book was so incredibly amazing! It can show how a young girl can grow strong with the help and love of others. In this case, Jake. I feel in love with Jake's character and sense of compassion. I hope there is a follow up to this story. I would love it! And be right there to purchase it. Thanks for a great book!

This is a wonderful book about Lucy, a girl who finds herself pregnant and homeless, and then she meets Jake, who is the most wonderful, perfect, kind, caring guy in the whole world. A wonderful love story.

I LOVED THIS BOOK SOOO MUCH!!! I went to the library one day and checked out this book. As soon as I started reading I could not put it down! It shows all kinds of teen topics, such as pregnancy, alcohol, parents, and most importantly, friendship!

Great Young Adult story.

This is one of the best young adult books I have read. I picked it up in a book store in Myrtle Beach to read on the trip home, I'm glad I got this one. The story is wonderful, but I seriously think there is a 1 in 1,000 chance of finding a guy like the one in the book. He was just so caring and perfect to Lucy. It is a must read.
