Teenie

Teenie by Grant, Christopher. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780375854903.

High school freshman Martine (Teenie for short) is a good student, with a bright future ahead of her. Shes desperate to be accepted into a prestigious study abroad program in Spain so that she can see what life is like beyond the streets of Brooklyn. She wouldnt mind escaping from her strict (though lovable) parents for awhile either. But when the captain of the basketball team starts to pay attention to her after shes pined away for him for months and Cherise, her best friend, meets a guy online, Teenies mind is on anything but her schoolwork. Teenies longtime crush isnt what he seemed to be, nor is her best friends online love. Can Teenie get her act together in time to save her friendship with Cherise, save her grade point average so that she can study in Spain, and save herself from a potentially dangerous relationship? Christopher Grant makes a stunning literary debut with this warmly told story about friends, family, and finding oneself. From the Hardcover edition.
