INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Young, Karen Romano

Outside In

(4) 4-6 In 1968, almost-thirteen-year-old Chérie faces a lot of changes. Her mother is pregnant, the boy next door might be more than a friend, and a local girl's kidnapping is deeply unsettling. In addition, headlines from the newspapers Chérie delivers bring the turbulent times close to home. This tale of maturation features likable characters, but the focus on national events tends to overwhelm the story.
