INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Wittlinger, Ellen

Saturdays with Hitchcock

(2) 4-6 Twelve-year-old film buff Maisie's weekly movie routine is disrupted by a love triangle she's not ready for. Meanwhile, several changes within her family fuel conflicts. Distinctive characterization is a significant strength here, and Maisie's response to her friend Cyrus's coming-out is all her own. A late-in-life romance for Grandma lightens the family story line, but this honest novel should give tweens plenty to think about.
