Say a Little Prayer
books by Jenna Voris
A wry, heartfelt tale of a teen who's taking her church camp by storm—one deadly sin at a time. Riley quietly left church a year ago when she realized there was no place for a bi girl in her congregation. But it wasn’t until the pastor shunned her older sister for getting an abortion that she really wanted to burn it all down. It’s just her luck, then, that she’s sent to the principal’s office for slapping a girl talking smack about her sister—and in order to avoid suspension, she has to spend spring break at church camp. The only saving grace is that she’ll be there with her best friend, Julia. Even if Julia’s dad is the pastor. And he’s in charge of camp. But Riley won’t let a technicality like “repenting” get in the way of her true mission. Instead of spending the week embracing the seven heavenly virtues, she decides to commit all seven deadly sins. If she can show the other campers that sometimes being a little bad is for the greater good, she could start a righteous revolution! What could possibly go wrong? Aside from falling for the pastor’s daughter . . . The book’s balanced approach to storytelling ensures that it remains engaging without becoming overwhelming. Each element is given appropriate attention, supporting overall cohesion. This book provides a well-rounded reading experience by combining engaging storytelling with thoughtful exploration of ideas.
