Reading a fabulous book by Amy Fellner Dominy. The story is about Ellie Taylor, an intelligent teenage girl who dreams of becoming a debater, and hopefully a lawyer. She attends a summer Christian speech and debate camp in the hopes of winning a scholarship to the upscale, renowned Benedict's High School. The problem: Ellie is Jewish. She must hide her religious beliefs to win the scholarship. Will she speak out about her true beliefs or continue to hide her true identity?
I've read up to page 112 of this book and I LOVE IT! Amy Fellner Dominy captures the voice and actions of the typical teenager and the angst that surrounds falling in love "with the enemy". I will continue to read this book with great interest.
Amy has also signed this copy of her book, which will be donated to our school (as soon as I'm finished reading it!!!!)
Reminder - Novel Writing Club meets this Tuesday, February 7th, same time, same place.
See ya' there!
Mrs. P.
