Snack Cake Chronicles

Rescuing Tacy comes at a priceā¦
Her history is a secret. She doesn’t know phones, videogames, even snack cakes. She’s underweight, afraid of everything, and now his next-door neighbors’ foster daughter. As a computer geek who never talks to girls, sophomore Cody Highland didn’t expect to be asked to play guardian to a teenage girl on her first day of school, but the neighbors put their most precious possession in his hands.
And so it begins. Life with Tacy is exciting, dangerous, emotional, and gives his world meaning. Suddenly the computer geek is singing in the choir and auditioning for school plays. Through it all he becomes her protector, her teacher, and her friend.
But when her past comes knocking, being Tacy’s protector will become the hardest thing Cody has ever attempted, because of all the changes she’s made in his life, this one will come the closest to taking him down. Tacy herself may be the only one to save him, if she can trust God for the strength to do it.
Contemporary Christian young adult novels about growing up, growing in faith, and learning to love. Read them in any order.
Jill's Notes
- Cody Highland is loosely based on my youngest son (with his permission), another big computer guy with a scruffy beard and a deep heart.
- Tacy chooses her own name, and she picks Tacy from a book series I loved as a girl, the Betsy-Tacy books by Maud Hart Lovelace, written between 1940-1955.
- I am NOT a performer. Even writing about Tacy and Cody on stage for school plays gave me butterflies.
- This book is in Kindle Unlimited.
