"Superb! (updated review)"

"Rosemount" (ISBN: 1-931761-52-3) by Mary E. Trimble, published by Atlantic Bridge Publishing (http://www.atlanticbridge.net), is an engaging story for young adults featuring the troubles of young Leslie Cahill. Leslie and her father just do not agree. She does not want to go to an academy far away. Her dad, on the other hand, feels that sending her to ROSEMOUNT Academy is best for her and that is that. However, angering Leslie, she decides to start making her own decisions and soon runs away. Rebellious teenage behavior and parent-child hardships lead to misery and broken hearts. This well- written and suspenseful book is sure to stir up every emotion within the reader, leaving them wanting more. Thank goodness, Trimble has written a few books featuring Leslie and her family. Highly recommended.
