Showing results for "september" in Growing Up & Facts of Life

Anne Digby's action-packed debut novel from the 1970s is the moving tale of two girls growing up together on a lonely farm, devoted friends until they are torn apart. For Mary, left behind on the farm, the only thing she can cling to now is her love for the horse they once shared.

The only thing Lucas loves more than football is his Uncle Benny, his dad's best friend at the fire department where they both work. Benny taught Lucas everything about football. So when Lucas' parents decide the sport is too dangerous and he needs to quit, Lucas has to talk to his biggest fan. So the next morning, Lucas takes the train to the city instead of the bus to school. It's a bright, beautiful day in New York. But just as Lucas arrives at his uncle's firehouse, everything changes - and nothing will ever be the same again.

Award-winning author Nora Raleigh Baskin weaves together their stories into an unforgettable novel about that seemingly perfect September day - the day our world changed forever.
