I was gripped by the writing style of this book aimed at tweens. And then it got even better. The relationship between Jess and Leslie is developed skillfully.
I don't usually do spoilers – but I think it is important to warn you that a child dies in this book – it is necessary to the story but I wouldn't give this one to a very sensitive child to read. It might help other children dealing with grief.
The book was published in 1977. The title sounds boring but the story certainly is not.
They could've given a better title, but I'm glad you enjoyed it :) It sounds pretty good and a little intense.
