OLDER FICTION
Clark, Catherine

Frozen Rodeo

(4) YA Sixteen-year-old Fleming, a "coffee wench" at Gas 'n Git, experiences some small-town summertime angst. Wacky characters and over-the-top happenings (she thwarts a robbery and has an in-line skating accident while racing to meet her about-to-give-birth mom at the hospital) keep things interesting but ultimately don't contain enough substance. Not as funny as Joan Bauer's novels, nor as satisfying, but there's still plenty of laughs.
