Who's
Your Daddy?
By Lynda
Sandoval
So, what
does YOUR daddy do? Has that ever gotten in the way of your social life?
What
if your daddy was:
• the chief of police?
• the vice pricipal of your high
school, the football coach, and the driver’s ed instructor all
rolled into one?
• a famous and fabulously wealthy musician?
That’s the
dilemma shared by Lila, Meryl and Caressa, three social outcasts in White
Peaks, Colorado all because of their daddies. They are all cute enough, bright
enough, and talented enough, but what boy in his right mind would be BRAVE
enough to date one of them when the girls have fathers like that?
These three
desperate girls decide to take their dateless matters into their own hands. At
midnight on the night of Homecoming, they convene to conduct a Dumb Supper-
dumb as in silent-which is a traditional ritual from 17th century England. They
hope to reveal the identities of potential boyfriends- maybe even prom dates.
But, despite their excellent planning, everything goes wrong. They are
interrupted before they can carry out the supper. Yet… three guys are
revealed. But, how could that be? And, perplexingly, some of the guys are not
who the girls wished for at all. Did the supper somehow work, or was it fate?
It may
surprise you to find out that the author, Linda Sandoval, is a police
officer-turned-writer. Nevertheless, you will laugh out loud with this book,
and hope for a sequel!
