Books with author Leslie Nelson

Eleven-year-old Katherine’s life is about to change dramatically. An unexpected move brings her to the South, taking her from her homeland in Canada. Katherine’s move brings with it a series of challenges that she must overcome if she is to survive her new surroundings. Life starts off rough from day one and continues rapidly on a downhill slide. Jasmine, her greatest adversary, is as cold as ice, and the rumor is only an ice pick can crack her tough exterior. She creates endless opposition, and Katherine is left wondering if it will ever stop. Surely Jasmine’s assignment in life was to make her miserable! Katherine’s mother assures her that everyone has some good in them, but according to Katherine, it would take a miracle to find any good in Jasmine Stokes. Are there any miracles left in the world? Katherine is about to find out — the hard way.
