Jersey Tomatoes Are the Best
Meet Henry Lloyd: Jersey Girl; teen tennis star. Looks like a supermodel; serves like a man. Eva Smith's best friend. Just don't call her Henriette.
Meet Eva Smith: Jersey Girl; prima ballerina. A three-time Nutcracker Clara with a stage mother from hell. Henry Lloyd's best friend.
Welcome to Summer.
When Henry and Eva head off to their dream summer camps - Henry to Florida for tennis, Eva to New York for ballet - the heat is on. Not only are these camps a proving ground for kids who want to make it in the professional worlds of tennis and dance, but it's the first time these two best friends have been separated. Still, they aren't worried. After all, Jersey tomatoes are the best, and these two tomatoes will always be tight, even with a thousand miles between them.
Here is a heartfelt story about best friends, about tennis and dancing, and about the lengths people will go to in order to help the ones they love, no matter the cost.

Brett McCarthy: Work in Progress
Meet Brett: the best eighth grade cornerkicker in Maine. A vocabulary ace. Best friend to Diane.
Until the prank.
Overnight she's become a loser at school, arch enemy to Jeanne Anne (it's all Jeanne Anne's fault, anyway), and a juvenile delinquent who has to eat lunch with the principal every day. Indefinitely.
Now Brett's got to figure out how to get through her days right when everything and everyone, including her other best friend, Michael the Brainiac, and her bazooka-blasting grandmother, Nonna, is changing and nothing is staying the same.
Brett McCarthy: Work in Progress was an ALA-YALSA Best Book for Young Adults and an Association of Booksellers for Children New Voices Pick. It received a Maine Literary Award and the Maine Lupine Honor Award.
