Kate’s 2¢: “Log Jam” by Monica Hughes

“Log Jam” by Monica Hughes

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

   I enjoyed this YA story. I thought the characters were portrayed realistically.
