Editorial Reviews

Gr 6-9 --Linda and Lenny of All for the Love of That Boy (1989) and Dedicated to That Boy I Love (1990, both Archway) are back in a book that's as well written and thought provoking as its predecessors. Lenny insists that Linda be ``good'' while he is away in the navy; Linda feels compromised--she has met Dave, who is in college and from a good family, everything Lenny is not. Lewis' strength as a writer for teens is in portraying their thinking and emotions realistically. Readers will understand easily the ups and downs of Lenny and Linda's relationship; its complexity is genuine. --Alice Cronin, Mountainside Public Library, NJ
