(4) YA Guitar-playing city-girl Charlie summers in the small town where year-round resident Rose feels trapped. Set in Australia, the novel occasionally strains at lyricism, and the protagonists' voices aren't distinguishable enough. However, the dialogue is spry and the book's concerns--embarking on friendship, loss of a parent, longing for greener pastures--are surefire adolescent hooks.
