Between Worlds 3: The First Step

by Lori Wolf-Heffner

Having to deal with an unusually heavy study schedule at her new school and odd behaviour from Opa, Juliana is more aware than ever now how much she needs her family. If only they were there for her.

Just as Elisabeth finally settles into her new role, things go haywire: school is cancelled all week for Luki and Anna, crotchety Omama suddenly shows up to stay, and a repair in the pig pen brings a potential future husband into the house.

About the author

Lori Wolf-Heffner is the author of the young adult series Between Worlds and the sweet romance series Love on Belmont.

She can still do cartwheels.

[Sandra Wilson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This third book in the Between Worlds series continues the trials and tribulations of teen Julianna as she has to cope with a cross-country move, a new dance routine, a new school and upcoming exams. It also continues the historical story of Elizabeth and her family in a world since past. I love the look into a teen's historic life alongside the struggles of a teen in modern day. It really allows you to see the difficulties of life on different levels, and even maybe feel that things are not really as bad as they seem. The story invites you into both worlds so you really feel for the characters, and easily become part of their lives. It is a lovely way to explore differences, with cultures, with countries and with lifestyles.
