Peace-loving Glen Sauten found being Charlie Thornton's friend difficult; now he discovers how it feels to be Charlie's enemy.

After going out with a girl Charlie wanted, Glen knows he'll have to stand up to Charlie or be labeled a coward. For now, though, he's happy to have his friend Luke as his bodyguard.

After being positive she has no interest in Charlie, Nicole wonders why it bothers her when he spends time with her best friend Zoey. Nicole isn't jealous. Is she?

When Luke is injured in a serious car accident and Charlie saves his life, Nicole is more confused than ever while Glen is knocked completely off-balance. It takes a stray dog and a local garage mechanic to teach Glen that you can't go back—you have to go forward—even when you have no idea where you're going.

An engaging coming-of-age series that blends humour, adventure, and romance with a search for the meaning of life.

"Lindquist draws the characters with skill and warm insight.... Strong moral values and common-sense answers suggested to address everyday problems youths face today." —Christian Library Journal

"I had to ask a 16-year-old whether N. J. Lindquist's Circle of Friends series of novels lived up to the promoter's promise that 'real issues and realistic teens' make for a compelling read. And without any prompting, 'realistic' was the word my young informant provided. 'It clarified things that I was doing wrong—and how to fix it.'" Christian Week, reviewed by editor, Doug Koop

"These books are a great tool for sharing your faith and would be a great addition to your home library or your church library." —Debbie Doane, The Old Schoolhouse Magazine
