Overview

With the natural wonder of Wildoak, and the historical charm of The Wednesday Wars, this middle grade coming of age story set in rural 1970 is a vivid adventure about friendship, film photography, and the healing power of the natural world. Cecilia Blue LaRue is the only girl in her class, the only girl in her family of boys, and mad at her only friend. But then Honey Brooks moves into the neighborhood, and a rare blue lynx is spotted in the woods. Celie sees adventure. Honey sees colors. With a dare on the line, Celie and Honey focus on clues to finding the wildcat and taking its picture. The trouble is, finding the lynx among the hues and shadows of the forest is just as tricky as figuring out friendship--and knowing which secrets to tell, and which secrets to keep.
