To Take A Dare
AuthorCrescent Dragonwagon
ISBN0553238647
I'm going to be honest with you: at least 60% of the reason I read this is because of its author's cracktastic pen name. In combination with the paperback's cover, the book summary, and a co-writing credit with established YA author Paul Zindel, it absolutely sounds like a 19-year-old human disaster...

Star Spangled Summer
AuthorJanet Lambert
ISBN1930009267
I wasn't sure what to expect as this was a thrift store pick-up. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, giving a sample of the literary, older American slice of life, which is somewhat new and refreshing to me, as an immigrant. There was no deep-end dramatics and no crazy twists. It was simple but never...
