Free le plus cher Billie by Bentree, Barbara NEUF

Life is somewhat boring in the suburban neighborhood of San Diego where 14-year old Billie Barnett lives. She spends most of her free time at the skateboard park or finding ways to avoid her ever-increasing homework load. One evening, an earsplitting sound and terrifying vibrations start a chain of events that will change her life forever. Although Billie is a superstar on her board, it is that same extraordinary skating talent that catapults her into outer space and possibly away from her family forever!

For Parents and le plus cher Teachers: "FREE BILLIE" is an exciting adventure-filled sci-fi journey that illustrates the idea of empathy for each other and particularly for animals. The messages within this book can help young people understand the value of empathy in a new and contemporary way.
