Criss Cross

When Everything Changes

Gavin and Kerri have been best friends for as long as they can remember-more like brother and sister than anything else. But when Kerri's mom gets sick, Kerri starts pulling away, determined not to become the girl whose mom has cancer.

Gavin doesn't understand why his best friend seems so different. Until one cold morning after Christmas, when his own world is turned upside down.

Suddenly, Gavin knows what grief feels like. He understands Kerri in a way he never could before-and he's furious about it. Can two best friends who have always shared everything find their way back to each other when grief threatens to tear them apart?

Sometimes the hardest part of growing up is learning how to hold on. Will Gavin and Kerri find a way to hold on to each other?
