My Contract with Henry

(3) YA Fired up by the writings of Henry David Thoreau (and by a class project), Beth Gardner and three other social outcasts build a cabin in Wayburn Woods and begin to live "deliberately." Thoreau's philosophy is the touchstone of this engaging, human story, and the characters' personalities, high-school politics, and an eventual showdown with a developer add tension and interest.
