Kat's Greek Summer by Mima Tipper

 

It's the summer before ninth grade and Kat's dream is to excel on the high school cross country team. However, her mom surprises her with a trip to Greece for the whole summer—a place where Kat has never been where she doesn't speak the language. Kat is half Greek, but it is hard to find that side of herself in a strange, hot place where expectations of girls are different and running is not something teenage girls do. On her first day in the remote village where her Grandma lives, Kat notices a handsome Greek boy who lives on a fishing boat. This is the story of how Kat meets Theophilus and starts a relationship with him, all while sneaking out at night and putting herself in some danger, especially from some aggressive local teenage boys. This young teen romance captures the newness, excitement, and even the danger of first love. Young romance readers will love this one. #youngteenlit
