I have recently read the book "The Cinderella" written by Karen Hesse. The story takes place in a small town in Vermont called Southfield. The main characters are 14-year-old Jocelyn and her best friend Ben, who are refugees from another town.
Jocelyn lives with her grandmother on a farm where they grow vegetables and have some chickens. She lives with her grandmother because her mother died in a car accident and her father disappeared soon after.
Throughout the book, you get an insight into how Jocelyn and Ben struggle to find their place in a new town and find out what happened to their father's disappearance.
Utdrag
After a few weeks, Ezra got so much better that he was able to go out with Nyle and help her with some of her tasks.
But when they were out, Muncie noticed them, and of course she got angry with Nyle for having evacuees with her for over two months without telling her. Then Ezra gets even better, so he starts school with Nyle, and then everyone finds out about him.
One of the mean kids at school, Ripley, used to pick on Nyle and Muncie. And one day, when he sees Nyle outside with Ezra, he comes up to them and starts saying mean things about Ezra. This makes Nyle very angry, so she and Ripley start fighting, and of course he wins, since he is two years older than her.
Then Ezra tries to help Nyle, but Ripley starts hitting him again and again, until he bleeds everywhere and passes out. Mrs. Trent and Nyle's grandmother heard all the noise, and came out and helped them back to the house.
They take Ezra back to the bedroom and tell Nyle to stay away, so she goes to her own bedroom. When she comes downstairs later, she realizes that they are not home anymore and their car is gone.
