The Beetle and Me: A Love Story

181 pp. | Greenwillow | May, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-688-15922-2 $$15.00
(3) YA Whether the "love story" of the title is between red-haired mechanic Daisy and fellow mechanic Billy Thatcher or between Daisy and the purple VW Beetle she is restoring is never clear, to Billy's frustration. While offering plenty of role models for mechanically minded young girls, the story sometimes mires in Daisy's self-absorption but still delivers a loving family and touching romance.
