Sixteen-year-old Pippa Greene never goes anywhere without her camera. She and her best friend/supermodel-in-training Dace long ago mapped out their life plan: Pippa will be the noted fashion photographer, and Dace the cover girl. But ever since last spring, things have changed for Pippa and her junior year at Spalding High proves to have its own set of challenges. Not only is Vantage Point, the statewide photography competition, in three short weeks, but her mandatory volunteer placement lands her at St. Christopher’s Hospital, a place Pippa never wanted to set foot in again. With humour and pluck, she navigates her new role as a candy striper (watch out for Code Yellows), her changing relationship with her best friend (goodbye Honesty Pact), and perhaps most stressful of all her new love interests (yes, love interests plural).

Will Pippa make it to Vantage Point without having a panic attack? Will either one of the guys prove less sketchy than her last boyfriend? Can she and Dace figure out a way to dream big and be best friends? One thing is certain: real life is a lot more complicated than a photograph.

Recensione:

"It's like that perfect photograph: it might have all the right components but it's up to the photographer to see the art within and rearrange them to resonate for both the artist and the audience. Chantel Guertin has accomplished that for the young adult reader, balancing fears, grief, romance, friendship, angst, ambitions and common sense, in different proportions to produce a picture that works." — Helen Hubiw, Can Lit for Little Canadians

"If the fall makes you nostalgic for back-to-school, you'll love this teen read from Canadian author Chantel Guertin that delves into the life of a high-school student - while also covering deeper territory than just crushes and clothes ... You'll fall in love with this genuine young heroine as she experiences the ups and downs of being a teen while dealing with the loss of her dad." — Best Health Magazine

"If you like stories about trying to find yourself while dealing with the ultimate grief of losing a parent, like Eileen Cool's Unraveling Isobel, then you won't be able to put this one down." — FAZE

"Chantel Guertin's trademark wit is present on each page. A truly compelling read (and fun, too!)" — Kim Izzo, author of The Jane Austen Marriage Manual
