Snowed In Together
What secrets are revealed when six teens get trapped at school on a Saturday?
Wes and his best buds, Tony and Jeff, have enough brain power to fuel the entire sophomore class, but when it comes to their social lives, they are totally inept. So they volunteer to organize the art room on Saturday knowing three certain cheerleaders will be there for practice. Trouble is, none of the guys can come up with a plan to take advantage of the opportunity to be the only six students in the building.
Then, thanks to a freak snowstorm, they're snowed in, which isn't so bad when the girls of their horniest dreams are there, too. Maybe it could give Wes the chance to make his fantasies about Ellyce come true! However, the last thing Wes expects is to be caught in a game that forces everyone to share his deepest secret. He fears if Ellyce discovers the story of his alcoholic father and abandonment by his mother, she'll never want anything to do with him.
"Ann completely stayed true to the characters and their age. Teenage hormones were very active, but not overdone. And I loved how everything turned out in the end for Wes and his friends. Things didn't end perfectly - I mean, it's high school - but the things that really matter, like self-confidence, self-discovery, and self-growth, was accomplished in spades. Ann Herrick's "Snowed In Together" is definitely a five star story!
"Snowed in Together is a young adult novel that has an important message. Wes is not dealing with the things going on in his life…he is hiding them from the world. Only when the students begin to share their deepest secrets does Wes learn that he is not alone and that talking to others about his problems is important.
I really enjoyed the characters from Snowed in Together. It brought back many memories from high school as well as those awkward moments of talking with boys. I could relate to Wes and his friends. The message is very important to the story and one that each child should learn!" ~ MDOBSON, Sizzling Hot Book Reviews
