Porch Swing Girl - Taylor Bennett

n nWhat if friendship cost you everything? n n Stranded in Hawaii after the death of her mother, sixteen-year-old n Olive Galloway is desperate to escape. She has to get back to Boston n before her dad loses all common sense and sells the family house. But n plane tickets cost money--something Olive gravely lacks. n n With the help of Brander, the fussy youth group worship leader, and n Jazz, a mysterious girl with a passion for all things Hawaiian, Olive n lands a summer job at the Shave Ice Shack and launches a scheme to buy n a plane ticket home before the end of the summer. n n But when Jazz reveals a painful secret, Olive's plans are challenged. n Jazz needs money. A lot of it. Olive and Brander are determined to n help their friend but, when their fundraising efforts are thwarted, n Olive is caught in the middle. To help Jazz means giving up her ticket n home. And time is running out.n
