Fading Tracks
Bruce Emmett, Kristi Holl
Lonely and a long way from her Iowa home, twelve-year-old Jeri McKane reacts to boarding school the way most middle schoolers would. Even with close friends, she wonders whether her scholarship to prestigious Landmark School was worth it. She's tempted to give up when her Mom can't make parents' weekend, and the school bus carrying her roommate, Rosa, disappears. But this reporter for the sixth-grade newspaper has an eye like Nancy Drew and more faith and courage than she realizes. Jeri solves the mystery---and makes landmark decisions to trust God and his Word through circumstances and feelings that don't make sense.

Profile Picture

This book is about Jeri McKane, a girl who attends a fancy boarding school on a scholarship. Jeri is already having second thoughts about going to the boarding school when her best friend's bus never returns from a field trip. When Jeri tries to help, she gets yelled at. Though malicious principals and meddling reporters try to stop her, she never stops trying to do the right thing. She eventually discovers that the saying "never judge a book by its cover" is completely true, and that praying can solve even your most daunting problems.
