Me & Jay

One hot summer day, fourteen-year-olds Geri Thomas and Jay Thornton try to find a place to cool off, so they seek Blue Pool, a dangerous, off-limits area. The two discover adventures they never bargained for as they foolishly hop a slow freight train to take them up the river road, then accidently start a grass fire. Soon they find themselves being chased through a mammoth cave by two desperate men willing to do almost anything to keep the teens from telling what they've discovered. Geri and Jay's adventures bring them one step closer to maturity and the acceptance of responsibility.This action-packed story... is a happy-ending page-turner for grades 5 to 8 with a solid message that bad decisions have dire consequences. -Today's Librarian
