A Young Adult Series About Family, Friends, and Growing Up
It’s lonely living halfway across the country since Juliana’s family moved in with her grandfather. She’s lost all her friends, especially Rachel, her best friend from dance.
Searching for connection, Juliana discovers a spark of it buried in Opa’s home, in a most unlikely place: a journal of sketches by Elisabeth, Juliana’s great-grandmother, as a teen in the wake of World War I.
The drawings speak to Juliana across continents and centuries, but only Opa can help her really understand what the sketches have to say. Can she uncover enough of Opa’s memories before his dementia takes them away forever?
Between Worlds shares the journeys of two teens navigating between the worlds of childhood and womanhood: what fills them with anger, what opens their eyes, and what ultimately expands their hearts.

About Each Book
Between Worlds 1: The Move
Juliana’s life turns upside down when she and her parents move across the country to live with her grandfather. She discovers an old journal of drawings that leads her to Elisabeth, Juliana’s great-grandmother, who drew about the events after World War I, when she was 14.

In one last attempt to connect with Juliana, Dad opens up about his hidden past. Can Juliana forgive him for having missed so much of her life?

Juliana and Rachel’s friendship faces its hardest test yet when tragedy strikes Rachel’s family.
