The summer we turned thirteen (Re-releasing)
Harlee Ramirez and James Whitmire have been best friends since they were nine years old.
Harlee is bold and outspoken while James is shy and reserved.
And their differences make the dynamic of their friendship special.
So special that Harlee always believed they were unbreakable and that nothing could come between them.
But the month before Harlee and James' thirteenth birthdays, James proves otherwise when he ends their friendship, without even giving Harlee so much as an explanation.
Harlee is hurt, confused, and angry, that James could just throw their friendship away like that.
Meanwhile, James is going through a lot of pain himself as he can never tell Harlee the reason why he had to end things.
Harlee refuses to give up though; she will do anything it takes to win back her best friend.
But as she tries to, she begins to wonder if their friendship is even worth saving or if growing up really does mean growing apart.
Filled with innocent laughs, authentic characters, relatable coming-of-age struggles, and touching life lessons,
The Summer We Turned Thirteen is a story you don't want to miss out on.
