Langan, Paul. Summer of Secrets. Townsend Press, 2004. 160p. $3.99. 978-0-439-90491-9.
Secrets are consuming Darcy Wills. Her parents are fighting a lot, but will not tell her why. Her sister, Jamee, has been lying about where she's been lately. Darcy herself has dark secrets of her own. She can't sleep or focus, and can't bring herself to tell her friends and family why. Her anxiety multiplies when her old friend Brisana gets romantically involved with an older boy who does not seem to care about her at all, but when Brisana finally comes to her for help, will there be an easy solution? This summer off from Bluford High just might be their most difficult one yet.
Readers will be totally immersed in this fast-paced summertime drama, written in an engaging, yet no-frills style by series editor Paul Langan. Summer of Secrets does not skimp on the excitement, letting the tension build up until the very end. Occasional typos and spelling mistakes may temporarily distract the reader, but they will continue eagerly to find out what becomes of Darcy and Brisana.
A must-read for fans of the TV series Degrassi: the Next Generation.
