Bats in Between

by Jandy Branch

In her final year of high school in the small "Mormon town" of Upton, Heather MacLean seems to be doing just fine. Even though she's still considered the new-girl, she's feeling more at home. She's dating her dream boy, Ben Jones, and she's on track to become the town's first female valedictorian. But when Ben leaves town to go to university in the capital city, Heather is left to make friends with Aaron, the town's resident gloomy vampire-boy. Will she make it out of high school unscathed? Follow Heather through the sequel to "Parakeet Princess" as she navigates the perils of mandatory gym class, a long distance relationship, and finding out the hard way what love is not. This is a clean, uplifting story about growth and girl-power. Set in the 1990s, it has something to offer older readers looking to see reflections of their own experiences. Look for the final installment of this series, "Swans in Sight" and Jandy Branch's new series, "Hurricane Hana."

This was better (for me) than the Parakeet Princess, as the main character's coming-of-age story seemed more age-appropriate in book 2. The plot drew me in, and was soon difficult to put down. Ms. Branch has a gift for insight, and even made me look at my own past differently. The only real problem here were the distracting errors throughout the book. Occasionally sentences made little sense, were missing articles, and were plagued with random misplaced letters. A good editor would have made this book stellar, but it's still very good.

I'm the author of this book so, of course, I love it. The story is fictional but some of my favourite parts were inspired by my real-life story. Of all the "Parakeet" books, this one is my favourite. I hope everyone will enjoy it.

I enjoyed this book much more than the first one. I've already started the third one. Fun, easy, clean and romantic. I like the struggle she has with boys, and relationships. It's really spot on for the teens. I like that she sticks to her standards. This would be a good read for my teen daughters.
