Out of Place by Jennifer Blecher


Available June 2019

Cove lives in Martha's Vineyard with her artist mom and she has never left the island in her 12 years.  Her mom refuses to leave, even for a trip.  Cove's best friend, Nina, is moving to New York City so her dad can try selling his artwork there.  Cove is devastated.  She is bullied by the other girls on the island, and really has no other friends.  Once Nina moves Cove decides to apply to be on a reality show called "Create You" so she can go to New York and find Nina.  There's only one problem, Cove doesn't know how to sew.  With the help of her friend, Anna (who lives in a retirement home), Cove begins learning how to sew.  Things go terribly wrong though when Cove makes a decision that she is not ready for. 

Great book for theme, character development, and learning how to deal with typical adolescent social issues.
