Of course Thunderwith is one of my all-time favourites, so I had to read its sequel. It's still a very good book, but I didn't love it quite as much - though that's hardly surprising, given how amazing Thunderwith is. It could have done without the romance angle, would have been much better without it I feel.

After reading the first book Thunderwith, i had to read the sequel Chrysalis!!! and of course i fell in love with Libby's work yet again! She wrote this series so well, the characters draw you in, and make you feel like your part of the family. A definate must read!!!

Lara has settled in with her new family and couldn't imagine life without them.

Her new friend Marna is very shy and untalkative and finds she can confide in Lara who she reveals her startling home life to, and she helps her friend without realizing it.

Gowd Gadrey (her Bully) also makes an appearance - to mend his ways or has he not changed at all?

First love also occurs with so many decisions for Lara to make for her future.

A book or Revelations, Secrets and Hope.

This was my favourite book as a teenager. It's been a while since I last read it, but I must have read it many, many times because so much of it I know off by heart.
It's hard to see it with fresh eyes.
I think its well written, and interesting (if a little less shocking than I remember)
but I feel that its hard to imagine real teenagers to be so self-assured, kind or worldly.

I preferred Thunderwith, but Libby Hathorn was one of my favourite childhood authors.
