True Blue

Adolescent love like in The Wonder Years and friendships like those in Stand By Me. A sweet and funny book about growing up, for kids who are still in the middle of it, and for adults who want to remember what it was like. From the author of the Unfinished Series and Shades of Blue. "When you wish upon a star for true love and everlasting friendship, True Blue will make your wish come true." - Brenda Ashworth Barry, author of the Seasons of Love and War saga. "Sweet coming-of-age tale tangled in the hearts and minds of four amazing characters." - Carrie Dalby, author of the Possession Chronicles. It's 1972 in Chickasaw, Alabama-a time when kids ride their bikes all over town, spend lazy summer days finding shapes in the clouds, squirt each other with the water hose, catch lightning bugs in a jar, and play outside until the streetlights come on. Best friends Jeana, Wade, and Billy Joe have lived on the same street all their lives, but things start to change the summer after the fourth grade. The boys begin to look at Jeana and each other differently, and puberty is getting close to rearing its ugly head. Can the three of them stay friends, or will someone's heart get broken? And who is that new boy in Chickasaw with the royal blue eyes?
