13 and Loving It

by Carol J. Perry

Kat Bradshaw's favorite part of the year was summertime. She loved to spend summers at her grandparents' house on Lake Willacoochee in Maine. Everything was just perfect-and Kat wanted it to stay that way! She and her friends, the Fabulous Five, always did everything together.

But the summer of Kat's 13th birthday, everything is different somehow. Her best friend Marilyn has changed. She and Kat just don't seem as close. And brown-haired, blue-eyed David Chadwick was just a friend, wasn't he?

But why was Kat so nervous at the thought of seeing him again?

About the author

Carol J. Perry is the author of the Witch City Mystery series and the Haunted Haven series, both from Kensington Publishers. The Witch City stories take place in the magical city of Salem, Massachusetts--the "Witch City." Carol was actually born in Salem (on Halloween eve!) and knows the city well. The Haunted Haven books take place in Carol's adopted home state of Florida. As an experienced travel writer for magazines and newspapers, Carol knows her way around the Sunshine State too. The Salem books are based of course on a real city but Haven, Florida is made up of bits and pieces of some of the Sunshine State's charming older towns--bypassed by the theme parks. Readers of the Witch City books have come to know O'Ryan, a most remarkable cat. The new series introduces Finn, a lovable Golden Retriever.
Carol lives in the Tampa Bay area of Florida with her husband Dan.

I have really strong memories of reading this and being a little obsessed with her bedroom re-do. Ahh, the early 90s!
