Welcome! My theme for the A-Z Blogging Challenge will be middle-grade and young adult fiction. If you’re a writer and would like to have your book featured during the Challenge, drop me an email with your book blurb, cover, your bio and picture. I’ll slot in your book based on the letter of the day. Today's book is by a Jamaican, Diane Browne.
Thirteen year old Princess arrives from Jamaica to live with her mother in Brooklyn, New York. How will she ever get accustomed to the many unexpected (and sometimes really weird) experiences in this place far away from her beloved Granny? Can she settle into her new life, a new school, making new friends, and find a place for herself? Her life is full of anxiety, and surprising twists and turns; but eventually she must decide where friendship, forgiveness and love fit in or be forced to return to Jamaica.
How she overcomes the challenges of settling into a new environment, including school, makes an interesting story.
