Praised by New York Times bestselling author Lauren Myracle as
"hilarious, moving and flat-out fun," and Kirkus as a "pitch-perfect
rendering...of the teen experience," Ten Things We Did (and Probably
Shouldn't Have) has captured the hearts of critics and readers alike.
Fans of Sarah Dessen, E. Lockhart, and Maureen Johnson will love this
hilarious and heartwarming tale of a girl on her own for the first time.
If given the opportunity, what sixteen-year-old wouldn't jump at the
chance to move in with a friend and live parent-free? Although maybe
"opportunity" isn't the right word, since April had to tell her dad a
tiny little untruth to make it happen (see #1: "Lied to Our Parents").
But she and her housemate Vi are totally responsible and able to take
care of themselves. How they ended up "Skipping School" (#3), "Buying a
Hot Tub" (#4), and, um, "Harboring a Fugitive" (#7) is a mystery to
them.
To get through the year, April will have to juggle a love triangle,
learn to do her own laundry, and accept that her carefully constructed
world just might be falling apart . . . one
thing-she-shouldn't-have-done at a time.
