The Wild Girls-Pat Murphy


"I met the Queen of foxes in 1972, when my family moved from Connecticut to California..." This is one of Joan, or rather Newt's quote. Put yourself into the shoes of Joan. She dreads to moving to California but she is just a kid. Can she make the decision when she has a father with anger management? Of course not! She is convinced that her life sure is going to be miserbale in her new home. However, once she meets Sarah, who prefers to be called "Fox"and who lives with her writer father in a rundown house in the middle of the woods, she started to be more optimistic. That was when everything had changed.
Newt and Fox spend all their spare time outside, talking and fooling around, and soon start writing stories together. Believe it or not, that story gets first place in a student fiction contest! They start to go to a summer writing class taught by Verla Volante. One day, Fox gets a call from her mom. From that moment, Fox and Newt's friendship starts to fall and break apart. That was when everything went wrong...What will happen next? Will their friendship ever mend? Read this book and find out!
I really enjoyed reading this book because it was extremely touching. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading about friendship, the power of this story.
