ABOUT THE BOOK
Title: Trouble Blows West
Series: Ginnie West Adventure #2
Author: Monique Bucheger
Publisher: True West Publishing
Release Date: March 18, 2020
Genre: Middle-Grade Contemporary Fiction
Putting her body in motion before her brain is in gear creates a mountain of problems for 12 year-old Ginnie West. She is certain that defending her twin brother, Toran, from the biggest bully in sixth grade was the right thing to do. But Ginnie couldn’t be more wrong.
She quickly figures out that Toran doesn’t appreciate being rescued by a girl any better than Pierce likes being knocked down by one. When Pierce seeks revenge on Ginnie, Toran sets aside his anger and helps her plot a playback prank at Pierce’s house.
Sadly, Ginnie learns that Pierce has a reason for being a bully when she sees his dad drop him to the floor like a ragdoll with one awful blow to the chest. Realizing he's a boy in big trouble, Ginnie switches gears and decides to be his ally, even if he won’t let her be his friend.
EXCERPT
GINNIE IS AGGRAVATED WITH HER DAD & BROTHER:
She blew out an impatient breath. “That would mean seeing Daddy
again and I’m not talking to him.”
Uncle Jake chuckled. “That does complicate things, but being the good
uncle that I am, I can’t in good conscience allow you to ride without your
helmet at least, knowing your dad prefers you to ride with a saddle and your
helmet. Why are you mad at my brother?”
“Because he’s nuts. And so is my brother. Please let go, I’ll
be fine.”
Uncle Jake smiled and shook his head. “Can you define ‘nuts’ for
me?”
“Crazy. Loony. Nutburgers. Now please let go.”
“Sorry, I need more information than that.”
“Uncle Jake!”
“Fill in the blank.” He handed her Calliope’s reins. “I am risking
getting grounded by riding without my helmet because …”
Ginnie didn’t hesitate, fury rising mounting. “Because my dad
is as pigheaded as my brother. They would rather see Toran beat up by Pierce
than have me help him. They actually think Pierce is gonna listen to
Toran tell him to back off.” Ginnie recalled Pierce’s angry, purple face when
he found himself on the theater floor earlier and shook her head. “Pierce isn’t
the chatting type.”
