  An alcoholic mother, a distracted father, a best friend who spends all his time with his new "girlfriend,” and three relentless schoolyard bullies: Prinny Murphy's past, present, and future certainly are "tense.” Adding to her misery, she still can't read well enough to escape from remedial lessons with the dour Mrs. Dooks. But when a kindly substitute teacher introduces her to LaVaughn's inner-city world in the free verse novel, "Make Lemonade," Prinny discovers that life can be full of possibilities – and poetry.

Autorenporträt
Jill MacLean's writing has always drawn on experiences in her life. Her books are set in Newfoundland, where her son and his family now live. Over the years, she's canoed, kayaked, hiked, and snowmobiled there, travelled the coves by boat, and stayed in the outdoors. Little did Jill realize at the time that these experiences could all be called "research," or that her love of the province would translate into words. Jill lives in Bedford, Nova Scotia.
