“Oh no! You’re
not off with that phantom in your head again are you?”
“Maybe,” Sierra
answered, a lilt in her voice. The really fun thing about Paul was that the
more she had thought about him the last few months, the more she had convinced
herself she had a crush on him. No, more than that, she and Paul were brought
together by God, and she just knew that something had to happen between them –
hopefully very soon.

Target Audience: Girls 14-19
Subjects: Friendships, Relationships
with family, Dating relationships, Growing up
Summary: A phantom Amy calls him. And
perhaps with good reason. They’ve exchanged two short conversations and he’s
sent her two short notes. And yet he’s the one Sierra day dreams about. Her
best friend says she needs to open her eyes to what’s right in front of her:
her good buddy Randy who is starting to take interest in her. But when a school
assignment causes Sierra to run into Paul again, she can’t help but hope
something will come together.
Notes: Sierra Jensen was introduced
in the last book of the Christy Miller series and this is the one of twelve
books about her story. Fourth in the Sierra Jensen series, Open Your Eyes
focuses on the difference between elusive daydream relationships and real
relationships. It’s not so much saying that Sierra should date one boy or the
other, but focusing on being thankful for the relationships she does have
instead of always focusing on the one she doesn’t have. A Christian music
concert helps her shift her focus a bit. At the end of the book, the author has
a note about the real music group mentioned in the story.
