L A Wolfe: 3 books

Emily is Kimmie at Denman high and wishes Mickey would figure this out and stop paying attention to the most popular girl in school before she takes Julio up on his offer and hops a train out of town.

Vanessa can't let go of the energy bubbling up inside about Beast. She wishes the mean girls would stop following her around. Their faces appear in the plants on her mom's patio, and she has conversations with ghosts and fantasy book characters, and a father who left a long time ago.

All the swimming pools in Vanessa's neighborhood join to make the ocean. There's a beach and people play volleyball. She is a cheerleader and there is a boyfriend. The something horrible never happened.
