Edna in the Desert
By Maddy Lederman
Published by Untreed Reads
Edna is a precocious trouble-maker wreaking havoc at her Beverly Hills
school. Her therapist advocates medication, but her parents come up with
an alternative cure: Edna will spend the summer in the desert with her
grandparents. Their remote cabin is cut off from cell phone service,
Internet and television. Edna naturally finds this arrangement
unacceptable. She’s determined to rebel until she meets an older local
boy and falls in love for the first time. How can she get to know him
from the edge of nowhere?
