Imaginary Enemy

(4) YA In elementary school, Jane stole her friend's homework and turned it in as her own. In middle school, she "punked out" her sister's Barbies. Now sixteen, when things go wrong, Jane still writes letters blaming Bubba, her "imaginary enemy"; things get complicated when he writes back. Though the book's resolution is anticlimactic, Jane's voice is well executed, her sarcasm masking vulnerability.
