Editorial Reviews

Gr 7-9 --Linda, 14, learns about boy-girl relationships when she meets Lenny, her first boyfriend. As their relationship continues, she tries to change him and make him conform to her standards. This causes misunderstandings and arguments between them. A maturing Linda realizes that Lenny is a person with his own needs that differ from hers. Both Linda and Lenny grow and mature, and Linda tries to see Lenny's side and learns to respect him and his opinions. She also learns that compromise is not always a bad thing. A well-written book showing conflict, jealousy, and competition which allow the characters to mature as they deal with each situation. --Sue E. Hamilton, Jackson County Library, Medford, Oreg.
