In Nature Girl, the first novel by Wisconsin native Jane Kelley, eleven-year-old Megan is stuck in the wilds of Vermont for the summer with no TV, no Internet, no cell phone, and worst of all, no best friend. So when Megan gets lost on the trial with only her little dog for company, she decides she might as well hike all the way to Massachusetts where her best friend, Lucy, is spending her summer. Life on the trail isn’t easy, but along the way Megan gets to know herself—both who she’s been in the past and who she wants to be in the future—and the journey goes from a spur-of-the-moment lark to a quest to prove herself. Nature Girl is funny, inspiring, and a perfect read for summer. If you’re into great YA fiction, don’t miss this event!
