Throughout their journey, smart April and brash June explore family values, encroaching maturity (April's been spying on dishy Justin Fink with a treehouse telescope) and their own stubborn differences. But when life in an adult world takes a turn toward the supernaturally spooky, the two must quickly pull together in order to survive. What is an appropriate sacrifice for family, and what is too much to give for a worthy cause? The girls soon find out what truly matters in life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShalanna Collins is the pen name of an ex-hippie who's still wearing embroidered blue jeans, drop earrings, long Alice-in-Wonderland hair, and sandals.

Shalanna, maybe Denise, graduated from Southern Methodist University with a BS in Computer Science and a BA in Mathematics. When she isn't writing fiction, she tutors secondary school math, works as a literacy volunteer, does research on the Internet, and noodles on the piano. Like many Texans, she doesn't intend to be funny, but often puts her own twisted spin on whatever she's observes. Novelist, pianist, belly dancer, baton twirler (but no fire batons ever again, by order of the Renner, Texas, Fire Dep't), Shalanna has published fiction in several genres, including mystery, fantasy, chick lit, and romantic suspense.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFind her online: \u003c\/p\u003e shalanna.livejournal.com shalannacollins.blogspot.com deniseweeks.blogspot.com facebook.com\/shalannacollinsbooks\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 8.5 x 5.51 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 06, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53744407052595,"sku":"9781612641461","price":27.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Z_J3d_9n4O9781612641461.webp?v=1785234968","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/april-maybe-june-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
