If you’re looking for a great book for tweeners, consider “Violet Raines Almost Got Struck by Lightening”. My daughter and I both loved this book! Two worlds collide as small town Violet meets big city Melissa… the new girl in town. It’s a story of friendships tested, first crushes, and acceptance. Written in a humorous way, this book about self-discovery will warm your heart. It’s a delightful read!
