CROSSING THE PRESSURE LINE
CROSSING THE PRESSURE LINE centers on Clare Burch, a deeply reflective 12-year-old who grieves the untimely loss of her grandfather, puts her self-confidence to the test, and learns how to listen to the courageous voice inside. It's the perfect book for tweens who love swimming, fishing, animals, art, and setting fierce goals for themselves.
