Books with title The Boy Across The Street

Just because the (hot) boy across the street saved me from a couple of embarrassing moments lately doesn’t mean I forgive him for the past four years. Four years of him acting like I don’t exist, except when he needs to make a joke out of someone: me. Four years of acting like we hadn’t been best friends once, that is until he cut me out of his life to hang out with the popular crowd. No way. I’m not going to forgive him for that stuff. But then from out of nowhere he kisses me. Ugh! Now I can’t get him and his steamy kiss out of my head. I still haven’t forgiven him—I won’t do it—but now I DREAM about him. Constantly. And it’s no longer the dreams where I get to toss him out a window. No, these involve kissing. And panting. And whispering “I love you.” Shoot. Me. Now.This book is told in two parts. (They are both in this book.) The other part of the story is about the 17-year-old girl’s best friend, Stormy, who is having guy troubles of her own.Stormy’s tale: A hot tough hockey player at our high school left me a steak. A STEAK!! He also left a (bizarrely sweet) bewildering note with it. It said, “This is juicy and well-done … just like your performance tonight.” (Don’t get too excited about that, my “performance” was in the sad school play.) Later, he told me he was being romantic with the steak. He was only teasing, but he said, “What? I heard girls like food for gifts—I was being romantic.” Like I said, he was only teasing. Sadly, he’s ALWAYS teasing me. So it bites that I’m falling for the guy, but I am. Hard. Because he’s just the way I like my steak—hot, tender and delicious. Plus, Mmmm, that boy can kiss!SUMMARY: The tough hockey player at school has it bad for sweet, shy Stormy. Can he show her that he can be sweet too?—tender even?

The boy in the house across the street leads a fantastic life! He can sleep as late as he wants and doesn't have to go to school if it's raining. He's got a swimming pool in his bedroom and a piranha for a pet. So the little boy who watches his every move from the smaller house across the way wants desperately to be his friend. But how is this possible? With imagination, everything is possible.

He continually struggled to find his place in the flock, acquiring only one real friend along the way. Blemish had also acquired a secret treasure and a bad habit, a very dangerous habit that could unravel his stable world if he was found out. As the events of his life unfold, Blemish finds that the things that he has been taught arent always true and dont match up with the experiences he is encountering. Could it be that the Council of the Old Ones, those that should be leading them down the right path, are at the center of the confusion? Is the Shepherd really as evil and cruel as the Council said? Someone somewhere wasnt giving him the whole truth. Was it deliberate deception? Or were the ones he was supposed to look up to just as confused as he was? Author Ann Joseph invites you to follow Blemish on his quest Across the Stream to find out the truth about the Shepherd who has impacted so much of his life, the Council that hates him, and the fate of the missing sheep.
