"For a long time, I was stuck in grief. I missed Mom. I was also stuck with a girl in my class who made fun of my mom and played bad tricks on people. Dad was stuck doing the housework and looking after me. When Dad told me he was marrying Liz, a woman he used to know before he met Mom, I was stuck being angry at him. Then I was stuck with Liz on her farm, and Liz was stuck with me being a real pain. For a while we were both stuck with her pesky nephews. Then I met a ghost who was stuck on earth. This book explains how we all got unstuck."

“A bully, the loss of a loved one, a horse, a “wicked” stepmother, a ghost and a dog are all woven by the author into a story that will delight the reader. Stuck is a book any ten-to twelve-year-old girl would enjoy.”

– SALLY ROSEVEARE, Author of Secrets at Spawning Run and Secrets at Sweetwater Cove

“Faced with many changes in her young life, Jacie feels stuck as she copes with loss, new routines, a summer at horse camp, new people in her life, and even a new home and school! Gradually, a helpful thought she embraces, ‘Go forward and believe in it,’ takes her across obstacles from jumps in a show ring, to adjusting to a new life in a very old house in the country near Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia . . . Stuck will stick in your mind and heart long after you finish this book.”

– IBBY GREER, Author of Moving Day: A Season of Letters and Paper Faces: Babyboomer Memoir
