This continuation of Katie Roberts's story should prove as appealing as its predecessors. Told in diary format, her observations on her mother, stepfather, twin brothers, teachers, friends, and boys strike familiar chords, bridging the distance between Katie's 1948 life and that of contemporary children. Katie is a believable, dauntless character, with just the right mix of sass and sympathy.
