The Puppy Sister
AuthorS.E. Hinton
ISBN0613023013
This book is so weird, and I'm having a difficult time wrapping my head around the fact that it was written by the same woman who wrote The Outsiders.

Chews Your Destiny
AuthorRhode Montijo
ISBN1423157400
Yurgh.
The premise of this was pretty ok -- little girl gets gum stuck in her hair, becomes gum girl, saves the day. The build-up and crime-stopping was really sloppily/dully done, the weirdly scolding but not really actually moralizing tone of the narration, and the overabundance of slightly-too-complicated-for-the-story...
