In <<Goodbye Stranger>>, Bridget Barasmain went through a terrible injury when she was 8, with her friend, Tabitha. She accidentally rode on her skates in front of a fast car, causing Bridge being seriously hurt and wrapped from head to toe. But Bridge managed to survive. But she has way more problems in high school. Friends break away (sort of), people are teasing her about the cat ears she’d started to wear every day, and Bridge meets a boy called Sherman, or Sherm. Her life changes a lot during the school year!
Sherman is in one of the same classes as Bridge. He also noticed her cat ears. Their teacher asked them to switch papers in class. Then, Bridge joined Sherm in the Tech Crew at school. They began to like each other(not love), so one day Bridge took Sherm to a restaurant. Sherm’s life changes a lot, too!
On Valentine’s Day, an unnamed high schooler loses a friend, called Vinny, although she still has another friend, Gina. But she stays home from school in secret, wanting one day free from loneliness at school and the way Vinny ignores her. The high schooler turns out to be Celeste, Tabitha’s (1 of Bridge’s best friends, the other is called Emily) sister! I like this nice book with many exciting characters.
