Summary: "When Eddie B. dared me to walk the net bridge where we'd seen an alligator and another kid got bit by a coral snake, I wasn't scared - I just didn't feel like doing it right then. Spunky, headstrong Violet Raines isn't scared of much; she's lived in the sleepy Florida town of Mitchell Hammock all her life and things are just the way she likes them. But Violet's world changes in a flash when Melissa arrives from big-city Detroit. All of a sudden, Violet's supposed to want to wear makeup and talk about boys? It'll take the help of Violet's friends, her momma, a few run-ins with lightning and maybe even Melissa for Violet to realize that growing up doesn't have to mean changing who you are." -- Provided by publisher.
