It's a summer of change in Kody Keplingers The Swift Boys & Me

 

Are you in the mood for a heart wrenching read about dealing with change? Try Kody Keplinger’s novel The Swift Boys & Me. This relatable coming-of-age novel speaks to all girls struggling with maintaining friendships and missing the past.

Eleven-year-old Nola Sutton can’t wait to spend endless days outside all summer long with her BFFs, the Swift brothers. But when the boys’ father unexpectedly abandons the family without saying goodbye, the Swift family is torn apart, and the boys are left having to cope with their family destruction in ways that are foreign to Nola. The once fun-loving and playful Swift brothers are changing...quickly. With her exciting summer plans of hanging with the boys getting pushed under the rug and harsh changes in personality, Nola feels lost. She just wishes things would return to the way they were pre-abandonment.

Dealing with change can be hard for girls all ages. But in the pre-teen and teen years, seeing people we love change (for the worse) is especially heart breaking. Join Nola on her journey as she tries to re-capture her friendship with the Swift brothers and figures out how to handle her own emotions.

Be sure to pick up this moving and relevant novel and find out how Nola deals with her stressful summer. Is she able to rekindle her once detachable friendship with the Swift bros? Find out when the book hits stores Tuesday, May 27.
