Now Boarding at Gate 10- a Christy Miller novella
Having just graduated high school, Christy goes back to Wisconsin with her family to visit relatives. There she reunites with Matthew, a boy she once had a huge crush on. Now that Todd is gone, could Christy start over with someone like Matthew? What if someone else was interested long before Christy came to visit?

In the Event of a Water Landing- a Sierra Jensen novella
Sierra heads off to a lake in Montana for a vacation with her friend Jana and Jana’s family. Excited to have lots of fun, Sierra is frustrated with Jana’s new boy-crazy demeanor. Will the whole trip be nothing but one big fight? And is Jana right? Should Sierra grow up and start looking for a boyfriend too?


What sweet stories. It was nice to visit Christy again. She is a wonderful character, and Robin Jones Gunn always weaves such wonderful stories. How fun to have the chance to read two stories that weren’t included in the new collections. I’ve read all Christy’s books except the college years, but this was the first Sierra-only book I’ve read. I liked her very much and must start reading the Sierra Jensen collection soon. I’ve you’ve never read these, I highly recommend Robin Jones Gunn’s books. They are a must read for any teenage girl, and for the nostalgic adult too.
