Gillian by Laurel Oke Logan

The book I read was Gillian, written by Laurel Oke Logan. This book is

about a girl who has just graduated from high school and is in the process

of looking for a job.

college. She and her friends are going to have so much fun.

As the years pass by she is doing very well in her classes, and before

to leave in about five days so her mother and she went to go buy the right

clothes to wear in Canada and some other things she would need. The day

finally came for Gillian to leave. As Gillian, her family and friends went

good-bye to her family and friends and then she went off. The flight to
