And what happens next? This is the question that readers of the best-seller The Cheerleader and its sequel, Snowy, have been asking, and now they can discover the answer in Henrietta Snow. New readers will relish a satisfying novel complete in itself. "Our generation," Snowy says, "is 'the disappeared.' We've dropped out of sight between our parents' generation--'The Greatest Generation'--and the baby boomers. Remember how we were called 'The Silent Generation'? Nobody knows about us." But here they are, Snowy, Bev, Puddles, Tom, Dudley, and all the Gang from Gunthwaite High School, turning fifty and then-eek!-sixty. How do they reshape their dreams and their lives? Henrietta Snow is the third title in The Snowy Series; at this time there are five titles in the series. All titles in the series are available here on amazon.com, and are sold separately.
