Girls ages 10 to 15 make the choice in this interactive story and see how the consequences change Kate s life. Includes a contract and prayer to remind the reader of the importance of making godly decisions.
“It’s evident that Nicole is a rare author. She has a tender heart for teenage girls and has poured that care into her stories. May her tribe increase! And may her books lead many readers to make wise choices.”
–Robin Jones Gunn best-selling author of the Christy Miller Series and the
Katie Weldon Series
MAKING WAVES is a solid story with interesting teens that shows the consequences of choices—good or bad. This book is not only a good read for teens, but would also make a foundation for a discussion in a Sunday School Class, Youth Group or between parents and teens. Faith element: medium. Recommended.
My thoughts: This was one of my favorite books to write. I was a swimmer and treasure my memories of the swim team. Like all of the books, I believe this one paints a realistic picture of what can happen when a teen feels the weight of the world in the pressure she carries on her shoulders. I hope to shed some light on the trappings of peer pressure, financial pressure and insecurity.
