Best-selling, award-winning author Melody Carlson delivers the second book in the story of Maya Stark, the newest character in the popular Diary of a Teenage Girl series. It's a Green Thing is sure to delight previous fans of the series as well as connect with teen girls, ages 12-17, who enjoy realistic fiction.

For the first time that she can remember, Maya Stark is beginning to feel like a ""normal"" teenager. Even with her mother in jail for drug possession and her pop-star father away on his comeback tour, Maya's new life with her uncle Allen and cousin Kim is coming together. Summer vacation's just beginning, and with a new job, a new boyfriend, and a new car (hybrid, of course), things are finally starting to look up.

But that doesn't mean life is about to get any easier. Maya's still devoted to living Green, and her uncle offers her a Green column in his newspaper. With the opportunity to make a difference in the town's attitude toward the environment, Maya wonders how this fits with her newfound commitment to Christ. And if she can really consider herself a Christian when her feelings toward a fellow youth group member are anything but loving...

Reviews for It's a Green Thing

Praise for It s a Green Thing Maya is a fun character! It's not even possible to read It's a Green Thing and not relate to her questions, her challenges, and her struggles as a teen and Christian. And I found myself jotting down her awesome eco-friendly tips! Jenny B. Jones, Award winning author of In Between and The Charmed Life series Praise for A Not-So-Simple Life As Maya Stark pours her heart out in her journal, readers are treated to an inside view of a life that is at times exotic and unfamiliar, and at other times hauntingly similar to our own. Maya s struggles become our struggles, her pain our pain, and her successes, therefore, even sweeter. A Not-So-Simple Life is another triumph for Melody Carlson. Virginia Smith, author of Sincerely, Mayla and Stuck in the Middle Fantastic book! Maya is so easy to like this is a hard story to put down! Erynn Mangum, author of Miss Match Melody Carlson has proven her skill once again at writing gritty stories about characters in difficult situations. In A Not-so-Simple Life, Maya Stark seeks to escape life under the controlling hand of her drug-addict mother by acting on a plan for independence with admirable determination. Michelle Buckman, author of Maggie Come Lately and My Beautiful Disaster I just finished Melody s book and loved it! The journal format makes the story, and Maya, so real and believable. Readers will easily be able to identify with the realistic approach to a prevalent situation.
