Amy

We have all got to that point where we are about to engage in something new...and we are not sure how to continue. We have all had that chance when we go to a new school or a new class and we are afraid of the reception. Some of our parents have dotted on us in basic or primary school...until it gets to a point when we have to leave them and manage on our own...AMY is a COMING OF AGE novella in which a teenage girl gets to that point where she has to do an exam in order to join high school, only that our Amy has to go to a boarding school far away from home. She has been used to having things done for her...almost, and now she has to learn to cope on her own. And she has to make new friends. Her passing her exam becomes a stepping stone to a new challenge. But she eventually finds high school a lot more fun than she had ever anticipated. AMY is the FIRST novella in the ST MARYAN SEVEN SERIES. They tell stories that challenge teenagers about their perceptions, their choices, and give teachers and parents dealing with teenagers tips on how to manage them. AMY introduces the characters who feature in the series as well as grounds the narratives. Besides, this series teaches English Idioms as used in context, thereby helping the teenager improve in communication skills and creative writing. The idea here is that a second language is learnt more easily and quicker through narratives, not the textbook. Welcome aboard.
