Fault Lines, Nama Beach High Series by Nancy Rue and published by Zondervan.
Things are finally getting better for Laura Duffy. Kind of. Despite nursing a broken jay, Laura is finding a good balance between God, friends, school and family. But something is happing at Panama Beach High School that is going to rattle every part of Laura's life. A group of new students has arrived whose olive skin and awkward accents draw unwelcome attention from the school's angriest group of burnouts. No one is sure where the new kids came from, why they don't seek out friends, or why a bully named Wolf is making their lives so difficult.
As tensions rise, Laura finds herself wanting to help, but is frustrated by God's seeming silence. And just when it looks like the tides have turned, things get much, much worse. Join Laura as she struggles to figure out how to be friends with outsiders, extend grace to enemies, and make sense of events that can do far more damage than a broken jaw. Recommended for ages 13 and up.
