Amber Brown is having what may be the worst year of her life. She and Justin Daniels were the perfect team: they laughed at each other's jokes, sat next to each other in class, and stayed best friends when Justin's dad had to move away. But now things are different. Now Justin's house has been sold and he is going to Alabama; that' too far from New Jersey to think about.

Life in Germany is deteriorating quickly; in order to protect their daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Lehmann may have to say goodbye to her forever.

Sturgeon River Sloughs
Looking for a nice place to hike this fall? Have you tried the Sloughs? It is an excellent place to hike with young children- the trail is flat, there are wetlands to look at as well as woods. The trail is just south of Chassell on 41- past the Sturgeon River Kennels (on the west side of the road) the sloughs are on the east side of the road. There is a small parking lot and a wooden tower to climb. There are no bathroom facilities so be sure to 'go' before you arrive. I like to bring along a water bottle and apples to sustain me and my companions. I think we spent all of 2 hours hiking, stopping to look at trees, squirrels and other interesting wildlife and having our snack on a bench by the Snake River If you are lucky and go early in the morning or in the evening, the wetlands may be full of Canadian geese!
