Review
Latest of Crompton's books. Other titles by her include The real prom queen of Westfield High and Blaze (or love in the time of super villans). This book is written for between 12-18 year old.
A bit of adventure, a bit of romance, but no sex. Written basically for the female reader, but not so gushy that a male wouldn't enjoy the read.
Dyna is a 17-year old thrill seeker, from a family of thrill seekers. This is the story of her life after she shatters her ankle while jumping from train tracks over the swimming hole. Hippie Mom finds her an alternative healing center to regain her independence. What follows is her journey and that of some of the others at the Ulysses Inner Outer Healing Center.
Does she stay with her high school boyfriend who wants to keep her safe or follow a young Afghanistan veteran who encourages her to spread her wings once again?
Overall Book Score: excellent
