Omschrijving

Sometimes Neville forgets to close his eyes...

Even in elementary school, Neville Kenton was an artistic prodigy, but nobody understood him. He vibrated with life and energy, and he saw the world in colors and textures. His fingers never stopped moving, either drawing or going through the motions of drawing. Not everyone could handle his way of processing the world, but Emmie Bello did, and she was happy to be his best friend.

When Emmie's strict parents discover her best friend is a boy, and an eccentric one at that, they change churches and schools to keep him away. For the next few years, Neville is alone with nobody to see his deepest places.

In high school Emmie's parents are forced to put her back in school. She finds Neville calmer now, at least on the outside. Darker, too, quietly wounded by a world that can't understand him. He still wants Emmie around, but her parents would never agree to this friendship. Unless, of course, they don't find out. So she decides to befriend Neville, hide this from the world, and live a normal high school life.

What could possibly go wrong?

The Seventeen-Year Cicada is book four of Terry's Garden, stories about a huge family, an enchanting garden, and the healing power of faith and friendship. Christian coming-of-age/romance novels for teens and anyone who remembers what it's like to take those first wobbling steps into adulthood.
