Into the second springtime is hilarious! I love the characters in this book! My favorite character is Yarrow. I love her, and i wish she was my sister. I wish i could go back in time and witness some of the pranks that different people pull in the book. I love how she ties the Native American Culture into the mix. I really learn to like every character in the book.

It made me laugh, it made me cry, sometimes frustrated! I loved the characters, although sometimes
I got confused it still was worth reading. These young teenagers dealing with life, in their small country type homelife, learning to blend nationalities.

Humorous and unpretentious.

One of June's best books. I could feel myself being drawn into each character. Could not get enough. Looking forward to her next one, Pirate Moon.

This book was absolutely darling from start to finish! Loved this book and would highly recommend. It's clean, funny, mysterious and thought provoking of the after life. Wesley ends up having a procedure (hope that's not considered a spoiler....if it is...I will hide this) and I am at home recovering from the same procedure. So there's a little bond there. Haha! Also, I cried with this book. Sad and happy all rolled in one. I have never cried while reading a fictional book before. However, this is not a sad book so I hope you don't perceive it as such. Loved this book and hope you will too!
