A fresh voice in YA fiction brings a charming heroine to life in this
series debut Sixteen-year-old Pippa Greene never goes anywhere without
her camera. She and her best friend/supermodel-in-training Dace long ago
mapped out their life plan: Pippa will be the noted fashion
photographer, and Dace the cover girl. But ever since last spring,
things have changed for Pippa -- and her junior year at Spalding High
proves to have its own set of challenges. Not only is Vantage Point, the
statewide photography competition, in three short weeks, but her
mandatory volunteer placement lands her at St. Christopher's Hospital, a
place Pippa never wanted to set foot in again. With humour and pluck,
she navigates her new role as a candy striper (watch out for Code
Yellows), her changing relationship with her best friend (goodbye
Honesty Pact), and -- perhaps most stressful of all -- her new love
interests (yes, love interests plural). Will Pippa make it to Vantage
Point without having a panic attack? Will either one of the guys prove
less sketchy than her last boyfriend? Can she and Dace figure out a way
to dream big and be best friends? One thing is certain: real life is a
lot more complicated than a photograph.
