We Are Still Tornadoes
by Michael Kun & Susan Mullen
St. Martin’s Griffin
Back when a handwritten letter sent through the post office was the way of communication, two recent high school grads, Catherine and Scott, kept their deep friendship going while she was away at college and he was at home working in his dad’s store. Learning to become adults, they riff on the latest music, gossip about their latest relationships and help each other as their families diminish by way of one parent’s adultery and another’s death. With a story told through the letters they write, readers get an intimate look at how a young relationship grows. (November 2016)
