"Some of us get dipped in flat, some in satin, some in gloss . . ." Bryce Loski's grandfather tells him. "But every once in a while you find someone who's iridescent, and when you do, nothing will ever compare."

From the moment the Loski family moves into town, Juli Baker finds herself drawn to their young son, Bryce. Even before his family finishes unloading the moving van, Bryce finds himself running away from her, and so their relationship remains for the next six years. All Bryce sees is the weird girl from across the street that lives in a messy house and climbs way too high up the ancient sycamore tree at the school bus stop. For her part, Juli can't get past Bryce's dreamy blue eyes and the scent of watermelon wafting from his hair.

And then comes the day that everything begins to change.

I love this book, it is fun and has a good message. I read it every year to my kids and they are always disappointed when it ends. So, come join us for Book Club on March 29th at Paula's home at 7:00p.m. (if you would like to borrow a book, talk to either Paula or Denice)
