A Different Kind of Princess - Mariel Doty - Bog

Fifteen-year-old Sarah Bella is not like most girls her age. Sarah prefers quiet dreaming to parties, fiction to fashion, and alone time to large groups. Sarah's mother worries about her daughter's social development and persuades Sarah to move to Florida to spend time with her gregarious cousin, Lily. Opposites often attract and these two girls become fast friends-each bringing out the best in the other.
With a new school and new friends, Sarah's life becomes very busy indeed. So much so, she doesn't notice that she is beginning to open up and experience life with a newfound interest. What she does notice is Kristopher-the cute boy in school with his intense green eyes and goofy smile. Sarah feels something she's never felt before, and as she embraces the feeling of falling in love, she finds that life and all the drama that comes with being a teenager is much more fun than she could have ever imagined.
Mariel Doty's joyous and poignant tale will bring back memories of youth and the exhilarating rush of falling in love for the first time. With an exquisite and superbly original voice, her book resonates with all women-from 15 to 95!
The author is a writer and educator in Illinois, where she lives with her husband, David, and kitty, Raven.
