Dinny Gordon travels through her junior year of high school with a few tribulations. She is unjustly fired from her job at Harlech's Variety Store for reporting a shoplifting incident. Curt Beauregard stops speaking to her when she accepts a date with Tom--but she reminds Curt that they aren't going steady and they are both are free to date others. Then she copes with prejudice against her friends, Mike and Debby who are Jewish. Dinny grows deeper into her archaeology interest and counsels a troubled adolescent.

This is my favorite Dinny Gordon novel! ( )
