October

For Emily Baxter, life is simple.

Her world is made up completely of school, church, and the community in the small farming town she calls home. All that changes one fateful Sunday, when a new girl shows up at Pleasanton Baptist-a girl unlike anyone Emily has ever seen. A girl with long red hair, crystal green eyes, and style and posture like royalty.

A girl named October.

The months that follow are filled with magic-the magic of ordinary things, of finding pictures in the stars, of imagination and a new sense of beauty. But as time goes by, Emily begins to sense that her enchanting new friend may have secrets that could break the spell. Is October really all she seems to be?

October is a deeply touching, bittersweet, uplifting story of friendship and struggle. Called, "healing," "raw, emotional, realistic," and "fantastic, beautiful, and deep," by readers, this is a book that will lead you to savor life's beauty, heartbreak, and radiance.
