I am pleased to promote YA novel No One's Watching for author Sandy Green today at CelticLady's Reviews!!
NO ONE’S WATCHING by Sandy Green
Book Description
The classical romanticism of Swan Lake meets the raw energy of Riverdance in NO ONE’S WATCHING. High
school freshman Kitri Othersen is expected to follow in her mom’s and
grandmother’s turned-out footsteps - dance in a ballet company and then teach
at the family dance studio. And she loves the idea. Right? Not exactly.
At summer dance camp, Kitri isn't chosen for a ballet role at the end-of-camp performance. Ironically, she’s placed in an Irish dance duet, a form of dance her mother, for some inexplicable reason, hates. Soon Kitri realizes that she’s falling in love with everything about Irish dance, including her partner Blake. When her archrival is injured, Kitri is offered the coveted ballet piece in place of Irish dance. Kitri has to decide whether to crush her mom’s hopes or tie a Celtic knot to her new passion and hang on.
After all, if you aren’t following your dreams, whose dreams are you following?

Book Description
For a thirteen-year-old kid who lives right by the ocean, Ford Kahr has never been a great swimmer. In fact, he sinks like a rock in the water. He’s actually afraid to swim in the ocean after his dad, a marine biologist and experienced scuba diver, disappeared off the shore of their hotel in Cape Lore, New Jersey, three years ago.
As klutzy as Ford is in the water, his older brother Jag is a junior swimming champ, and his younger sister Mercedes has a mystical connection to the water that Ford can’t explain. But when Jag swims out to investigate the disappearing island past the jetty, Ford uncovers an amazing secret that puts a new spin on his relationship with the ocean. The ocean harbors a whole other world beneath its surface that Mercy and Ford must explore – hoping they’ll find some clue to the disappearance of their father and the astonishing secret they share about the water.
Legends of underwater people and stories of scary sea monsters push Ford and his sister to discover the truth about what’s really out there in the ocean depths.

Book Description
A little magic changes everything...
What if your lip gloss told you the truth? Would you want to know?
In Kiss and Tell, the book alternates between JENNA, a contemporary teen, and VERITY, a former ancient water spirit paying penance as Jenna’s truth-telling magical lip gloss.
After a life of lies and deception, Verity has been transformed into a Sibbecoss – the Kiss of Peace – and permitted to offer and reveal the truth to the ones with the courage to hear it. When Verity reveals Jenna’s painful and shocking past to her, Jenna works to forgive those responsible and forsake those who would control her. But that isn’t quite enough to save Jenna from harm.
Verity has one last chance to ultimately atone for the horrors she caused in her past and repair what’s broken. Will Verity find redemption and peace in the present by protecting Jenna’s future?
Readers of all ages will enjoy this tale of truth and consequences from a fresh voice in teen fiction. Viewers who enjoy ONCE UPON A TIME will be attracted to this mash up of fairy tale and modern magic.
