Spring Breakdown (Carter House Girls)

Zondervan (February 1, 2010)

***Special thanks to Bridgette Brooks of ZONDERKIDZ for sending me a review copy.***

MY REVIEW:
This book continues the series with the Carter House Girls. This time its Spring Break and they are heading to Florida... for a photo shoot and a week in the sun. Is it even possible for everything to go smoothly while they are there? Of course not. The biggest issue is that Eliza pulls a disappearing act... is it to get attention or could it be worse?

A good solid addition to the series, but I would recommend reading them in order, and I think these are geared for older YA just as a caution.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:


Melody Carlson has written more than 200 books for teens, women, and children. Before publishing, Melody traveled around the world, volunteered in teen ministry, taught preschool, raised two sons, and worked briefly in interior design and later in international adoption. "I think real-life experiences inspire the best friction," she says. Her wide variety of books seems to prove this theory.
