Produktbeschreibung

A dangerous secret ... a daring escape ... a new beginning ... Sam Park, age 11, is spending Christmas day with Morley Star and her family. There are gifts. Music. Laughter. It's everything she always dreamed a family holiday could be. She couldn't be happier. Yet with all the joy of the Holiday season, Sam has also been keeping a dark and dangerous secret. It's one she can't possibly tell anyone, not even her two best friends. Especially not them. Even though this secret could ruin everything. Then, all too soon, Christmas comes to an end and it seems Sam's worst fears are coming true. But could there be something she discovered during the Holidays that could save her? When something beyond even her worst fears comes true, she has only a moment to chose - will she do what she's always done to stay safe? Or risk everything? Rules for Flying is the forth in a heartwarming series of realistic novels that take place in a small seaside town. It's a place where nothing - and everything - happens for real girls with big dreams! A coming-of-age novel series to enchant grade 5 and middle school readers ages 10 to 13. About the Author Jacquelyn Johnson writes the kind of stories for girls she wishes were available when she was 11 or 12. It's such a vivid time of discovery, especially about who you are and how you can shine in the world, she says. "It's the time when you first find your own true voice, and how to use it. That's what this series is all about." Following careers as a teacher, journalist, and magazine editor, she returned to her first love, writing novels. She lives with her family in a small village near the sea not unlike Seabright, with a little cat surprisingly similar to Morley's Feather.

Autorenporträt

Jacquelyn Johnson writes sweet contemporary romances with humor and plenty of banter for readers who like heroes who are possibly a bit misguided but truly heroic, feisty heroines who you'll want as friends and happy endings. She's also the author of the Morley Star series of realistic novels for girls ages 10 to 13 and a dozen or so books about dogs, cats and assorted other pets and animals for middle school readers. When not writing or avoiding cooking and housework, she likes to drive around admiring other people's gardens or lounge on her verandah with a refreshing glass of something and a good book. She lives in an old farmhouse that will probably never be finished (though she lives in hope) near the ocean.
