By the Creek

Geoff Laughton
3.84/5 (461 ratings)
Soon-to-be high school junior David Harper hates his family’s move to the country. There’s nothing to do, and he misses his friends in the city. But with his mother’s job now in Mason County, David doesn’t have a choice. He’ll have to make the best of it.

At first, the only redeeming feature of David’s new home is the swimming hole across the field from his house. Then David meets Benjamin Killinger, and suddenly life becomes much more interesting.

Benjamin is Amish, and cooling off in the swimming hole is one of the few liberties he and his brothers are allowed. A friendship with an English boy, however, is not. Despite this, David and Benjamin start to get to know each other, meeting on neutral ground by the creek.

After David risks his life to save Benjamin’s father, their friendship is tolerated, then eventually accepted by Benjamin’s family. But as time goes on, Benjamin’s feelings for David grow beyond the platonic. However, his Amish community will never accept a love like theirs, and the secret they’re keeping may not stay hidden for long…
