Katie Parker is about to get a new life—whether she wants one or not. With her mom in prison, and her father AWOL, Katie is sent to live with a squeaky-clean family who could have their own sitcom. She launches a full-scale plan to get sent back to the girls’ home when she finds herself in over her head...and heart. When Katie and her new "wrong crowd" get into significant trouble at school, she finds her punishment is restoring a historic theater with a crazy grandma who goes by the name of Mad Maxine. In the midst of her punishment, Katie uncovers family secrets that run deep, and realizes she's not the only one with a pain-filled past. Katie must decide if she'll continue her own family’s messed up legacy or embrace a new beginning in this place called In Between. Review: Sarcastic and Simply Delightful - In Between by Jenny B. Jones is the story of a sixteen-year-old girl whose mother is in prison. She has been in a home for girls and is now taken in as a foster child by James and Millie Scott. The story is told by the teen Katie Parker in a snarky, sarcastic, non-trusting tone. She is, nevertheless, someone the reader identifies with, and she rings true. Katie wears black clothing and Goth make-up for her first day in her new school and promptly befriends the girl with a purple Mohawk. She soon finds she made the wrong choice. She’s in trouble with the police and the scapegoat for horrible acts of destruction. The Scotts give Katie a beautiful room, designer clothes, and love and discipline. She soon makes other friends and decides to try to win the respect of her foster parents. She even becomes friends with her flashy, energetic—to put it mildly—foster grandma. This is how In Between introduces the grandmother: “My mother is, um, different. I don’t want her to scare you, but she’s been compared to Judge Judy.” “Judge Judy?” “On crack.” It’s pretty accurate, though I think Judge Judy is mild compared to Maxine Simmons. The ending wasn’t what I expected—I love it when authors surprise me—and it’s perfect. Throughout, there are many profound spiritual lessons along with lots of fun. The writing is excellent. If you like a sarcastic tone and fun with a heart, you’ll appreciate this book. I thoroughly enjoyed In Between, laughing from start to finish. I would heartily recommend it to teen girls as well as to those of us who never quite grew up. Review: I love good writing! - I love Katie Parker. She's every 16 year old who feels disconnected. As the story unfolds over the four book series, you'll see the why behind her cautious nature. Maxine, her foster grandmother is such a fun character – I picture her with fire red hair instead of blonde. What an adventurous soul! The story is funny, witty, even sassy and sarcastic at times. It's a well written, wholesome story–gospel centered without being "preachy" or judgmental. The later books are more evangelical. The story teaches love, acceptance and forgiveness. This is young adult fiction but can be enjoyed by all as a coming of age tale. I have read all four but loved In Between the most. The second and third books had a lot of grammatical errors and typos and were a bit drawn out and teetered on boring. The last book from the series was a bit too explicit with sexual flirting and innuendo for a Christian book in my opinion especially for the age genre category. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #807,378 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #286 in Children's Books on Adoption | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 18,452 Reviews | ## Images ![In Between (A Katie Parker Production) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Q0kdeZ5lL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sarcastic and Simply Delightful *by A***A on November 23, 2014* In Between by Jenny B.

I couldn’t put it down! This was the first time I’ve read a book by author Jenny B. Jones but certainly not the last; she has a new fan! The story is about Katie Parker a foster girl who has been in the system awhile due to her alcoholic, bad mom. Katie is placed in the home of James and Millie Scott as new foster parents who have a secret of their own. James Scott is the pastor of the local church with Millie as the secretary. The story goes through the first few months of Katie’s life at the Scott’s house, a new student at the high school, and discovering the God. The author does a great job of developing the characters to be so real. I especially like the way she developed Millie Scott. She made me feel so connected to her as a woman and just wanted to reach out to her. The writing of Katie was also great. Katie’s emotions where put out there as real as it could be and you could really feel for her as a person. And then there was Millie’s mother Maxine who was totally crazy! The character was very well written and you could just picture the antics that she did. I laughed, I cried and I loved the book. When it was done, I was disappointed. I didn’t want it to end. I see room for another book, there is so much more that can be written with the many good characters in the story. I will be recommending this to my friends. Thank you Jenny B.
