Daniel Pinkwater almost makes me angry.
Having read all of his personal essays and NPR pieces (I even own his dog training book!), I could see that many of the elements and characters from this book were drawn from his own life. And it's just not fair. My teenage years were nothing like Robert Nifkin's!...

| ISBN | 0553238647 |
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...
| Author | Norma Klein |
| ISBN | 0449702367 |
Omg, if only life was a easy as a sheepskin coat and as carefree as a 18 year old behind swaggering in the air. Klein's protagist Jody is probably the most amazing YA protag. She's cheeky, slutty, nerdy, bossy and despite being so beyond her years she is still so teendreamqueen. The book is supposedly a look...
Dear Lovey Hart,

| ISBN | 0955191092 |
In a way I'm glad I read one of Peyton's books right at the start of my pony book discovery for she's by far the best author I've read in the genre and now I can focus on her back catalogue. Then again, it does set an impossible standard for all the authors I have yet to discover.
Fly-By-Night is special...

I hate the cover of this book. It’s got three girls on it with bad hair, bad clothes (one of them has a sweater tied around her neck), and the caption below the picture says, “Sometimes you learn more in college outside the classroom….” Ugh. It’s screaming for an update. I decided to give it a second...

I first read "To Kill a Mocking Bird" in high school. I enjoyed it then and I enjoyed it now. (sometimes when you read books with more mature eyes, the book doesn't seem as good)
The setting of this story is a small town in Alabama in the early 1930's. As in many towns of its time, prejudice was rampant....
