Pebbles, Kayla and Dana

Book excerpt: Here are three novels in one book. Young readers, especially girls, will find the adventures of these three young ladies exciting and challenging. PEBBLES, age 14, is a talented youngster who does everything well. Everything: softball, violin, chess—whatever she tries, she does well. But she must learn how to lose, and that’s the hardest thing of all. KAYLA, age 12, needs to help her nerdy boyfriend as he struggles with the problem of his parents who are on the verge of divorce. Her own experience helps her, because she is the child of divorced parents. DANA, age 10, wonders if the old lady in the house across the street is really a witch. And if all her cats are missing kids she has turned into cats. She goes over to find out. What she learns surprises her.
