Add to basketWhat’s more awkward than finding out you’re dating a vampire or a werewolf? Finding out you’re dating an Amish guy. That’s the dilemma facing Samantha Stonesong in Amish Guys Don't Call. Newly accepted into the popular girl’s clique called “The Sherpas” led by mean girl, Hillary, Samantha already faces scrutiny and anxiety at the start of her junior year. She’s also entering into her first romance with a guy named Zach who she suspects might be a “player” because he acts suspiciously guarded. They share a love of horror movies and he’s the first person since her father left after her parents' divorce, who makes her feel proud of her intelligence. But when she finds out the truth: that Zach was raised Amish, but has chosen not to end his Rumspringa, instigating a potential shunning from his family, things really get stressful. When Zach returns to the Amish community to help his family through a rough time and her new friends start cyber-bullying her, Sam reaches a breaking point and falls back into her old habit of shoplifting. Luckily when she’s caught, it’s by a compassionate former hippie who helps her to reclaim her life, reconnect with her dad, and determine what values and people are really important to her. And in doing so, Samantha finds out everyone has secrets.
"Samantha Stonesong is one of the most appealing, hilarious, whip smart narrators I’ve encountered in ages—her voice vibrates right off the page (and her last name feels appropriate—Debby Dodds writes with such energy and wit, she could even make a stone sing). Amish Guys Don’t Call is a gift—fresh, funny, moving, unforgettable."
- Gayle Brandeis, author of The Book of Dead Birds and My Life with the Lincolns
"In Amish Guys Don’t Call, author Debby Dodds gives us a young high school girl we can all root for. Estranged from her father and living with her narcissistic mother, shy, bright Samantha Stonesong is trying desperately to fit into the social scene at a new high school. Her efforts come unraveled when she falls for an Amish guy and becomes the victim of vicious cyber bullying. An old coping urge to shoplift re-emerges, which only gets her deeper into trouble. In a story filled with surprises, emotional ups and downs, and humour, Dodds deftly paints a portrait of a young girl whose honesty, courage, and intelligence win the day. Highly recommended."
-Warren C. Easley, author of the Cal Claxton Oregon Mysteries
"Amish Boys Don't Call, is as compelling and fascinating as a first kiss. It’s Romeo and Juliet in Amish Country. Zach is an Amish boy who just wants to be like everyone else. Sam is a modern American teen with her own problems fitting in with the mean girl culture at her high school. Sam and Zach are not supposed to fall in love, but they do. And true love never runs smoothly, especially in Lancaster, Pennsylvania."
-Janice Maxson, Reviewer
"Laugh out loud funny! Amish Guys Don't Call is a witty romantic comedy that entertains from beginning to end. Sam is a complex and relatible protagonist who falls for a boy that is far more than Plain."
- Kate Scott author of Counting to D
