Catherine Combs and Ivy June Mosley are both chosen to represent their schools in the seventh-grade student exchange program. Each will spend two weeks visiting the other and keep a journal to document their thoughts. Catherine lives in a large comfortable home in Lexington and attends a private all-girl school. Ivy June lives with her grandparents in the mountains of Cumberland Gap, without running water or a telephone. The girls enter the program thinking they are very different, only to discover they are more alike than they could imagine. Naylor uses the girl's journals to create wonderful characters, especially Ivy June.
3 of 5 stars - Recommended.
