ABOUT THE BOOK

Riley McGee has the whole world open before her. She could get into any college, major in any subject, become whoever she wants to be...But the truth is, Riley has no earthly idea what to do. She's paralyzed by indecision, afraid of the changes she faces, and as graduation day inches closer, it feels more and more like a threat.

Meanwhile, her autistic brother, Michael, is struggling to fit in at Marina Vista and stay on top of his classes. Riley tries to keep an eye out for him, but when Ms. Moore suggests pulling Michael out of school, Riley has to fight for her brother--and against her favorite teacher. And things take another turn when her ex-boyfriend, Tom, arrives, hoping to give their relationship one more try. On top of that, an ambitious new pastor makes her question everything she thought she knew about faith.

MY THOUGHTS
This is the second Miracle Girls book I've read. (My review of A Little Help From My Friends is here.) This is a great series, and I enjoyed this final installment as the four friends experience their senior year in high school and make plans for college. Their ups and downs are realistically portrayed, and I especially love how Riley wrestles with what being a Christian really means and how that impacts her daily life, her future, and her interactions and relationships. I heartily recommend this book for teens. My girl absconded with it the moment I finished reading it!
