Phoebe Sharp has long red braids. She wears old beat-up
sneakers and clothes from Goodwill. She lives with her father and
brother on a small farm in Maine, where she reads fairy tales to her
goats and snaps pictures with her Instamatic camera. Phoebe doesn't
have a single friend, never mind a boyfriend—that is, not until
she meets Melita.
Melita arrives at the Sharps' farm in a
see-through T-shirt and strappy platform sandals that show off her
drawn-on "tattoo." With her caramel-colored skin, stylish
clothes, and urban attitude, Melita seems as different from Phoebe as
two teenage girls could be. Through the summer, the girls grow to
know each other. As their friendship develops, confusing feelings
also begin to emerge. Could their friendship be deepening into
something more?
