Dive into Ivy in the Shadows


 
If you’re a gal who can’t resist the humor and hardships of a young girl all in one classic coming of age tale, then you don’t want miss out on Ivy in the Shadows by Chris Woodworth. 

  

Ivy seems to be completely lost. Struggling to get along with her mother and constantly on babysitting duty with her younger brother JJ, Ivy feels completely trapped at home. To make matters worse, her mom decided to take in a boarder named Caleb, who is 12 just like she is.

 

Caleb seems like the strangest boy Ivy has ever met and she’s determined to keep her chaotic family life a secret from her best friend, Ellen. Not only is her family going broke, Ivy is left in charge of the entire house while her mother tries to make ends meet. Add Pastor Harold into the mix and everything seems to be even more complicated. Will she learn to get along with Caleb, or will he be just another problem in her life?

 

Ivy is such a relatable character because everyone can understand the pressures and confusion she faces as she approaches her teenage years. Smart, witty and very strong for a 12-year-old, you’ll fall in love with this character.

 

Be sure to grab a copy of Ivy in the Shadows (available now) and read on as Ivy learns about the importance of family and the unimportance of school drama.

I have this Uncle and he is always ruining my parents lives he got my mom to quit her job cuz he's too unbearable at work he is always looking down on us cuz he's richer and his sisters don't even care and are just partying around like nothings happened it's much worse then this I know but my parents won't tell me it's got my dad on an emotional breakdown and my parents won't stop fighting how can I live like this please help!

Hey girl, if now isn't a good time to talk with your parents about your concerns, try speaking with your school counselor or another adult you trust.  Or, you can call the Nineline (an anonymous counseling hotline) at 1-800-999-9999.  If you're upset and worried, talking about it will make you feel better.  Best of luck.
