Product Description
Books in Canada
Kathy Stinson's Fish House Secrets is about a boy and girl who meet one summer in Nova Scotia, and alternates his version of what happens with hers. Only a teenager would know for sure, but I suspect she doesn't quite succeed in pulling this tricky manoeuvre off. I do know that local colour and teenage misery are not enough to make the story fly, even with its touch of romance. Teenagers who think the novel that can match TV hasn't been invented might try.

An excellent starting point for giving students the opportunity to reflect on family values and their effect on the life pressures of teens.

Find yourself, May 2 2001
By Isabelle Schwänzl - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fish House Secrets (Paperback)
Reading the book you are confrontated with the two protagonists Jill and Chad. The story(s)are written in form of a diary from two perspectives. So in the beginning the reader would not expect this two stories having anything to do with each other. However, they finally meet. The start of a beautiful friendship...We think the book has to get four stars because it is written in a very good and emotional style.That's why you can imagine protagonists` innermost feelings and think about your own feelings. Enjoy reading!
