TO NIGHT OWL FROM DOGFISH by Holly Goldberg Sloan & Meg Wolitzer


To Night Owl From Dogfish (B&N Exclusive Edition)




Avery (Night Owl) and Bett (Dogfish) were totally unaware of each other until their fathers met on a business trip. The two men fell in love and decided their daughters should meet.

The relationship began when Avery and Bett learned about the plan to have them officially meet at a summer camp in Michigan called CIGI. Their fathers believe that this STEM based summer science camp would be the perfect place for the girls to "accidentally" become best friends. In fact, their fathers believed there will eventually be a wedding making the two girls sisters.

As they say "the best laid plans" don't always end as desired. It doesn't take long for Avery (afraid of deep water and countless other dangers) and Bett (animal lover and surfer) to be expelled from the camp. At the same time their fathers, on a motorcycle tour of China, find out they may not be meant for each other.

Self-discovery and plenty of hilarity follow as the girls do become best friends despite the craziness that surrounds them and their families. All of their adventures are detailed in emails and letters written by them and others.

Authors Holly Goldberg Sloan & Meg Wolitzer have teamed up to create a delightful tale. Using their own close friendship as inspiration, their characters and situations are quirky and sure to entertain readers from start to finish.

Currently reading INTO THE RAPIDS by Ann Braden

Welcome to Readingjunky's Reading Roost

Hello fellow readers! I retired after 40 years of teaching middle and high school English. I still teach at the college level - Children's and Adolescent Literature - and I truly enjoy connecting my students with great books.

For anyone not familiar with my posts, I review mostly YA fiction. My focus is on books for middle grades and high school age readers. I have reserved the right to review only books I feel I can review positively. After all, I believe life is too darn short to read books that don't truly interest me.

Readers will be able to view a brief summary of each book, my quick thoughts on any unique qualities in the book, and a peek at the cover. (I confess - I do sometimes "judge a book by its cover.") I will also post information about Accelerated Reader points since my students will be interested in this information.

I appreciate any comments you would like to share regarding the books reviewed and also suggestions about additional books that readers might enjoy. Always on the lookout for new material to use in my classroom, I'm open to any and all suggestions.

I look forward to sharing many reading related thoughts with interested readers.

Read on!

RJ
