In 'Stella', 12-year-old Alex finds the treasure, and the girl, but inquiring readers wanted to know – what happens next? Here’s what happened next. Follow Alex through high school, then Queen’s, as he struggles with change and disappointment, until finally, he must make a choice.
“I DON’T KNOW, PETER,” VICTORIA SAID, “Alex is going be pretty upset. You know how hard it was on him when we moved to Amherst Island three years ago.”
“Yes, dear, I know. But he will survive and, it’s character..” “Don’t give me that ‘character building’ spiel, it isn’t going to wash this time.”
“That sounds like it isn’t going down well with you either, Victoria.”
“Listen, Peter, I understand that you are ambitious and this opportunity at Trent is in line with your academic interests, but this is very disruptive to the whole family.
“Alex is too young to understand career ambition.
“And don’t use any of your wry humour on him to soften the blow. Sometimes I wonder if you actually understand psychology even though you teach it.”
READ MORE“Ouch, okay. Silence may be more persuasive than argument. Perhaps you should tell him. I’ll just stand by and look concerned.” But he said this with smile. Victoria scowled.
COLLAPSE"Alex' Choice picks up where Doug Jordan's Treasure of Stella Bay leaves off, with Alex Jorgensen coming of age. His problems are no longer who is in the secret boys' club, but his relationships with young women who have minds of their own. He continues to be guided by his parents and his own instincts, both of which serve him very well. A very enjoyable read; highly recommended."
