Hershey Herself by Cecilia Galante - ESSENTIAL


Galante, Cecilia Hershey Herself, 330 p. Mix (Simon), 2008.

Violence - PG

MS - ESSENTIAL

Years earlier, Hershey was almost blinded when her mother's boyfriend shattered a glass on the wall behind her. Now Hershey has embarked upon a campaign to make Slade so mad that her mother will be willing to leave him for good - instead of running back to him like she did the last time. But, actions have consequences and Hershey will have decide if she can live with the consequences of her actions and of Slade's.

While the books in the Mix imprint look light, this particular novel covers some hard hitting life scenes - in an honest way, without resorting to in-your-face language or violence to get the point across. Yeah for Simon and Schuster for supporting this kind of writing.
