The Frankincense Trail by Jody Kihara (2011-06-16)

“A note sat on the kitchen table. Shaya snatched it up and read:
Shay,
I'm taking Dev to the clinic, he's still sick. Didn't want to wake you, you were sleeping so soundly. Hope to be back early afternoon.
Love,
Mom
PS – don't forget you're grounded”
― White Witch Pond

“So, does anyone know if this person really did drown in that pond? I mean, really really?"
Kim shrugged. "I dunno."
"Haven't you ever asked your parents?"
Brianne and Kim gave her blank looks.
Obviously not.”

“[on Halloween]
Shaya could hear the clump-clump-clump of their mother's feet on the stairs. When she appeared in the living room doorway, neither Shaya nor Dev could speak.
"Oh, gosh," Shaya finally said.
"Well? What do you think?"
Shaya's lips moved, but she couldn't find the words.
Finally Dev uttered, "Mom, you're a… cow."
"Right! So that Shaya and I could do a theme." At their blank expressions, she said. "Get it? Cowgirl… cow."
Shaya finally found her voice. "Mom, you're… huge. You're huge and black and white and you have an udder.”

Thanks for the add! Did you find a solution to the "swearing" in YA?
