Girl on the Ferris Wheel
In GIRL ON THE FERRIS WHEEL, Julie Halpern and Len Vlahos expertly takes this quirky and poignant romance that explores what first love really means -- and how it sometimes hurts like hell.
Tenth graders Eliana and Dmitri could not be more different. He's an outgoing, self-confident drummer in a punk band called Unexpected Turbulence. Eliana is introspective and thoughtful, and a movie buff who is living with depression.
Dmitri quite literally falls for Eliana when he sees her in gym class and slams into a classmate. The pair then navigate the ins and outs of first love. Exciting, scary, unexpected, and so much more difficult than they ever imagined. They say opposites attract, but they soon realize that there is so much they just don't understand about each other.
It begs the question: How long can first love possibly last when you're so different?
Target age group 15 and up
