Spring Cleaning Preview - Amelia Norse

Middle school: the last place you'd expect someone like me, a renowned world traveler, to land. But our plane has touched down in tiny Berea, Kentucky, where I'm actually supposed to live for three months. No Starbucks, no Gucci or anything--my life is so over!
That's what twelve-year-old Sophie Onette thinks when her dad announces she'll be spending three whole months with her art-obsessed mom while he does special business without her. Sophie's been in a lot of cities and towns over the years, but none as boring as Berea. And of all things she'll have to attend--shrieks!--public school. But as Sophie settles into life in Berea, she soon finds the little town has a lot to offer, and maybe, just maybe, three months isn't enough.

Why Life Isn't a Movie

By: Amelia Norse

With life
There's no pause button
You can't read the book first
Or have your best friend tell you the ending
You can't skip the scary parts
You can only watch your favorite scene once
When you cry it isn't fake
You can't do it over and over again until you get it right
What doesn't make sense never ends up making any sense
And there's no director to tell you how to act
Life doesn't always have a happy ending
And you can only watch it once.

"While you wait for your favorite movie to happen to you, remember why God put you in this world. He did what He did because He loves everyone and waits for the day you will come back to Him. Life isn't a movie, but you may be a movie to someone else. Watch the things you do, and you may make an effect you never would have expected."
