Jordan Klein loved living in New York City and was less than pleased when she found out that her family had to move to Texas for the entire summer.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Her Uncle Jacob got caught trying to smuggle \u201ccontraband\u201d [bibles] into China and was advised not to leave the country until charges were officially dropped.\u00a0 Since Jordan\u2019s father, Eli, was a professor of religious studies, he was asked to be the substitute pastor for his brother\u2019s small-town church in Texas.\u00a0 Jordan and her mom were both upset about leaving NYC for three months but figured Eli would probably realize he made a mistake and head home after only a couple of weeks.\u00a0 Upon arrival, Jordan didn\u2019t think she would ever get used to her temporary home\u2026 but she soon made some friends and found herself less anxious to leave town.\u00a0 As readers might expect, the summer was life-changing.\u00a0 Jordan learned a lot about herself that she may not have discovered if not for this move.\u00a0 What I didn\u2019t expect, nevertheless, was the crazy twist at the end or just how funny most of this book would be.\u00a0 (I\u2019m talking, laughing out loud so often that I had my coworkers staring at me during lunch<\/em> funny!)\u00a0 If you\u2019re looking for a story that asks big questions without weighing you down, you should definitely check this one out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jordan Klein loved living in New York City and was less than pleased when she found out that her family had to move to Texas for the entire summer.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Her Uncle Jacob got caught trying to smuggle \u201ccontraband\u201d [bibles] into China and was advised not to leave the country until charges were officially dropped.\u00a0 … Continue reading So the Sign Said by Natasha Osteen<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,6,8,13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2060","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-all-posts","category-books-for-young-adults","category-fiction","category-reviewed-by-chrissie"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/staffpicks.eglibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2060","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/staffpicks.eglibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/staffpicks.eglibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staffpicks.eglibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staffpicks.eglibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2060"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/staffpicks.eglibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2060\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/staffpicks.eglibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2060"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staffpicks.eglibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2060"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staffpicks.eglibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2060"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
