Between Worlds 1 - Wolf-Heffner, Lori

. .

Résumé :
Fourteen-year-old Juliana tries to make herself heard after a big move leaves her feeling ignored. Juliana's parents didn't ask her opinion about moving half-way across the second largest country in the world. They didn't ask if she minded interrupting her last year of junior high or first year of dance apprenticeship training. And they certainly didn't ask if she wanted to be separated from her best friend of ten years. Instead, Juliana spends a week trapped with her parents in an SUV as they repeatedly tell her why she has to begin a new life in a new city. When they arrive at her grandfather's home, she tries her best to be polite to everyone, but it's all too much. Overwhelmed by the size of her mother's family, Juliana escapes to the musty basement of her grandfather's home. There, she discovers an old sketchbook of unknown people, struggles, and celebrations, all drawn by an artist about her age. Who is this person? What do these drawings mean? And why does the artist feel familiar to Juliana? The Move is the first book in Lori Wolf-Heffner's uplifting YA series, Between Worlds, which follows two teenaged girls growing up a century apart....
