It was bad enough when fifteen-year-old Liz Scattergood's grandmother, Bunny, died. It's even worse now that her mother seems to have gone crazy. For weeks her mom wouldn't get out of bed, wouldn't eat dinner with Liz and her father, wouldn't even brush her hair. Although Liz understands that her mother and Bunny had a special bond, were more like sisters, in fact, than mother and daughter, ...

Dedicated to Those Whose First Love was a Hard Love
From the first paragraph you can tell HARD LOVE is a different kind of book. It opens with a teenage boy named John, struggling between his divorced parents and the teenage romantic values his parents don't seem to have. None of which bothers him in he least, as he has been raised with no feeling or sense of emotion. Day to day, John coasts through life, trying to forget about his father who ...

RAZZLE is both funny and touching.
"Life has been one long snooze," Kenyon Baker tells us in the fist line of Ellen Wittlinger's new novel, RAZZLE. He's been the nice boy for so long. None of the girls at his mother's private school notice him at all. No one questions his goody two shoes status and no one asks Kenyon if he is happy. So when Ken's parents retire and move to Cape Cod, Ken isn't too upset --- especially after ...

great book
This tells the story of a small Massachusetts town, Scrub Harbor, during a time when some people want to change the name to Folly Bay to make it sound better. It is told through ten different high schoolers, each with a different opinion. Ms. Wittlinger uses all the basic high school stereotypes: the outcast, the nice-to-everyone girl, the jock, the popular rich girl, the new kid, the shy girl, ...

The Long Night of Leo and Bree=AWESOME!
Leo, a brave kid, has been going through a lot with his sister and mother. You wouldn't think that he would get to the point that he would actually do something crazy, would he? All I am saying is that by the end of this book Leo is going to be a new Leo. Another main character in this book is named Bree. This girl is good girl brought up with a mother that is very over-protective and will hardly ...

Great book for those who know life and love is complicated
Once again, Ellen Wittlinger captures a teen voice in all its cynicism, humor, and edge of vulnerability. I loved the inner dialog in PARROTISH, where Grady plays out what strikes him, and me, as what people are really thinking behind their spoken words. This is often funny in that I've-been-there way. The novel begins with the dad beginning his Christmas decoration obsession, and here we see ...

Very Entertaining Read
I thought "Heart On My Sleeve" was a very good book. I chose it primarily because of the e-mail format writing style that so far only a few authors have explored. This is a coming of age story that gives you the transition of a teenage girl towards the end of her senior year in high school on to her first months of college towards the end of the book. The storyline is very relatable for ...
