The Sectrets of Peaches by Jodi Lynn Andersen
In US stores december 12 2006
Last summer, three very different girls—wild Murphy, perfect Leeda, and shy Birdie—etched their initials on a Magnolia tree at Darlington Peach Orchard to symbolize that they're friendship will last forever. But can it survive the less-than-peachy year ahead? Murphy, more in love with Rex than ever, is torn between her big-city dreams and following her heart . . . all the way across the railroad tracks and into Rex's arms. Leeda, nominated to be Bridgewater's Pecan Queen, basks in the rose-scented glow of her Ice Queen mother's sudden affection—until her sister, the princess, returns. Birdie, happy for the first time, wants nothing more than to make time stand still. Too bad everything is changing, whether she likes it or not.
The sweet trio of Georgia girls that made Peaches a national bestseller returns in this delicious and satisfying sequel. This year, Murphy, Leeda, and Birdie discover that bitter endings can lead to sweet new beginnings . . . and that the orchard that brought them together will always be a part of them—even if they leave it behind.

Scottie, Tay, Amanda, and Bella—they’re an angsty artist’s daughter, an indie tomboy, a trust-fund princess, and a new-age yoga goddess. Their friendship totally defies the odds, yet last year, fate (and a whole lot of yarn) brought them together. As the Chicks with Sticks, they survived plenty of knitty friendship dramas. Now they’re as solid as a fisherman’s sweater. Or are they? As the Chicks begin their second year together, their tight circle faces its biggest challenge yet: boys.
Another fast, fun, and fresh story, accessorized with four hip new projects for people of all experience levels, this will be a hit in both knitting and reading circles.

Ok, now go pre-order them, and I'll see you tomorrow.
