Flightsend by Linda Newbery

4.0

Charlie is a typical British teen. She's 16 and taking her GCSEs and getting ready to start the 6th form - which means that she's taking a national standardized series of tests and getting ready to enter the equivalent of 11th grade. Charlie's mother has broken up with her long-term boyfriend, quit her job and is moving them to Flightsend, a cottage in the country. Charlie will be away from her friends, a long bus ride away from school and in the middle of nowhere. And nobody asked her about breaking up with the boyfriend. She likes him and he's a gym teacher at her school, so she sees him all the time.

"Flightsend" is a lovely book that takes place during 6 months of Charlie's life.
