Secrets at Maple Syrup Farm by Rebecca Raisin

Dan the builder, arrives in town, with some shocking news, and the story begins to takes some huge twists and turns, keeping me on my toes. And the way Elaine tries to reign her in, but half agrees with the things Brodie spouts. The girls relationship was a highlight for me, I adored Brodie with her quick wit, and fast talking mouth. Elaine, returns to the Village to scatter the ashes of her mum, and forms an unlikely friendship with the fiery Brodie.

My fingers tensed as I twisted the button again, and it came off in my fingers. I’ll get Jeremy to introduce you to the rest of the team today.” I believe you already know one of your other teammates, Rachael. You’ve just met Jeremy, who will be on your team. We’ll run you through orientation, plenty of paperwork, and sign you off on the basic competencies. “Well, I only got in yesterday, but my room is okay, and the food at the mess is better than at recruits.” I fidgeted with the lowest button on my shirt. It was like being in the principal’s office at school, and I’d done that more than once. I walked into the room, stood fast in front of the desk, and saluted.
