Between Brothers

by Irene Morck

A gripping and touching story of how the precarious relationship between two brothers is tested when they both fall for a very special girl. Greg and Michael are brothers, but they don't get along. Ever. Now Greg is going to miss the hottest party of the year, and it's all Michael's fault. Instead of having fun with his friends, Greg finds himself, saddle sore and grimy, searching all over the high Rockies for a stray horse with Michael, their father and Holly - a girl with thick bones and thick glasses. Definitely not the kind of girl that usually catches his eye . . .

Reviews

[Jenna Leigh]

Great book. Easy to read, and the story's deeper and a bit more unique in subject matter than lots of the books in young adult literature today!
