Eventown

by Corey Ann Haydu
Genre:  Science Fiction

Elodee and Naomi are twin sisters and up until this year have had similar likes and dislikes, but now that they are heading into middle school, Elodee feels like they are drifting apart.  Something happened in their family that no one is willing to talk about and it is causing them to drift a part.  Their parents decide that the best way to leave their past behind is to pack up and move to Eventown where they can get a fresh start.  Life in Eventown seems perfect, but once they are there Elodee starts to notice that things are a little off, a little too perfect.  Naomi and her parents seem to fit in just fine, but Elodee is asking too many questions, and the people of Eventown aren't used to that.  Will Elodee be able to fit in to life in Eventown?
