Across the Pond

Book Review by: MartaH     

Original Author: Storyheart (Barry Eva)
When Fred Squire's parents take a trip to Australia and can't take him along, he gets shipped off to the United States to
stay with friends. Fred isn't too happy with his parents but heads off on his adventure to the States.  Upon arriving he meets Brittany, daughter of the friends he's staying with.  From that point on Fred finds himself falling deeper and deeper for Brittany.and discovers that the feelings are mutual.  As they continue to grow closer, they overcome the obstacles in their way that threaten to stop their relationship before it gets going.  Fred becomes Brit's "English Knight" and vows to take on someone from Brit's past who's still threatening her.  Will her parents get angry when they find out?  Will Brit's amorous friend take him steal him away from her? Will the course of true love run smoothly? 
This is an excellent love story geared towards young adults, but I think most adults would enjoy it also.  I know I did!  The story is about romance and love at first site, as well as  teaching some of the differences in British Culture vs. American Culture. As if all of that isn't enough to catch and hold your attention baseball is thrown in! I thought it was a really delightful story and I think it is a realistically written story for that age group.  I don't think you'll find one much better than this great story by Storyheart.
