Hey, All,
I’d like to share some great reviews of my book with you. Thanks for reading them.
From momstakeonthings.com:
“This is one book where from teh very first page you are pulled right into the characters and their story. The book opens right as Rebel’s mom is leaving her and her father….
“Many of today’s young people will be able to relate to the sense of betrayal that Rebel feels by her mother’s moving out…she remains a very level-headed girl who is exactly what I hope my own daughters will be like when they reach the teenage years.”
Thank you, Deb.
A snippet from Linda Jo Martin
“The book reaches out to readers who learn to love Rebel for her compassion toward animals while they sympathize with the shock she endures when her mother leaves. You’ll find this young adult novel to be full of excitement, tension, emotions, and even a bit of sillyness. The book ends too soon because once we let Rebel into our lives, it is hard to let go.”

Beverly Stowe McClure wrote a good book–considered a YA-young adult book. Shucks. I haven’t been that young in a while, but I still enjoyed the book. It deals with parents separating and other issues that arise in the lives of young people. I would whole-heartedly recommend it as reading material for both the parents and the teens of parents who must face the confusion caused by separations. While I can pray that this never happens to any of our children or grandchildren, the situation is handled realistically and with genuine understanding. When I hand this one over to the oldest grandson to read, we will get another viewpoint. He will reconginze the “good guys” in this story and probably grin at the “boy humor” in many of the scenes.
I hope that Mrs. McClure continues to handle topics of this nature. Her books will definitely find a place on my book shelves and on my gift list. It was definitely worth my trip to Hastings today to meet her and purchase her book.
[Now, aren't you just dying to read my story? LOL]
Here’s another great review:
4 Flames – Rare Find
Rebel Ferguson’s life is changing at the tender age of 16. Her mother has abandoned her, her father has started drinking and her two best friends, the Garret cousins, Will and Sully, are suddenly looking at her through different eyes.
Rebel can’t accept her mother’s choice of a rock star over her father and herself. She vows to hate her mother’s new love interest. She knows her father still loves her mother, and if her mother would just return, everything would be all right.
She can’t ignore the changes going on around her no matter how hard she tries to throw herself into her care for her menagerie of farm animals.
Will and Sully distract Rebel from her gloomy mood in a variety of entertaining ways. They’ve always been the best of friends, sworn to stay together and always take care of one another. But suddently, there seems to be much more than friendship between Rebel and one of the boys. Oh, no, you can’t know which one until you read REBEL IN BLUE JEANS. One thing you can count on: Will and Sully are both quite capable of making any young lady’s heart throb.
REBEL IN BLUE JEANS is a book teens will love. It’s fun, exciting and very identifiable. Ms. McClure has done an outstanding job with this novel. It’s a book readers will want to read more than once.
