The roller coaster ride that is one's teenage life is the
setting of "Watching July", which reveals the rural youth
culture of British Columbia through the eyes of sixteen year old July.
With the death of her mother, July barely escapes depression as she
finds herself immersed with new friends and boyfriends, but as a roller
coaster goes down, then up ... it goes down again as well. Her world
turns weird and her dreams get weirder, in this riveting young adult
novel. "Watching July" is highly recommended for community
library young adult fiction collections.
