Violet Raines Almost Got Struck by Lightning by Danette Haworth



Title: Violet Raines Almost Got Struck by Lightning

Author: Danette Haworth

Stars: 4 1/2

Description: Spunky, headstrong Violet Raines isn't scared of much; she's lived in the sleepy Florida town of Mitchell Hammock all her life, and things are just the way she likes them. But Violet's world changes in a flash when Melissa arrives from big-city Detroit. All of sudden, Violet's supposed to want to wear make-up and talk about boys? It'll take the help of Violet's friends, her momma, a few run-ins with lightning, and maybe even Melissa for Violet to realize that growing up doesn't have to mean changing who you are.

Everything is perfect for Violet, she has her best friend Lottie, even though they are about to go into Junior High it isn't a big deal, everything is just right...until Melissa comes along. Now Violet is having to dream about cute boys, wear make-up, and other stuff.

Violet does a kiss on a dare and Violet likes to say Oh My Lord and Lord Almighty for expressions kind of like saying OH My Go*.

4 1.2 Stars!
