1.
Cross Creek,
by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings
 Book : Biography
Language: English
Publisher: New York, C. Scribner's Sons, 1942.

Notes:
Got tedious after a while, but some beautiful passages
2.
Family secrets
by Norma Klein; Dial Books.
 Book : Fiction : Juvenile audience
Language: English
Publisher: New York : Dial Books, ©1985.

Notes:
I do like Norma Klein, but she never quite has the emotional catharsis I'm looking for. Peter kinda reminds me of Ryan.
3.
Cheaper by the dozen
by Frank B Gilbreth; Ernestine Gilbreth Carey
 Book : Biography
Language: English
Publisher: New York, T.Y. Crowell Co. [1948]

Notes:
Interesting enough; will read sequel
4.
My father's scar : a novel
by Michael Cart
 Book : Fiction : Juvenile audience
Language: English
Publisher: New York, N.Y. : Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, ©1996.

Notes:
Passable. Had some issues with the writing--stilted dialogue, overabundance of adverbs, ellipses. Really idealized view of love!
5.
Growing up fast
by Joanna Lipper
 Book
Language: English
Publisher: New York : Picador, 2003.

Notes:
Loved the stories. Tough teen moms making it in a hard world. Most were luckier than some--graduated, not on drugs
6.
The drowning of Stephan Jones
by Bette Greene
 Book : Fiction : Juvenile audience
Language: English
Publisher: New York : Bantam Books, ©1991.

Notes:
read 50 pages. She lost me when she had the gay couple believe they would be accepted at a Southern Baptist church and a Catholic talking about his partner "accepting Jesus." Just too heavyhanded and unrealistic.
7.
The catalogue of the universe
by Margaret Mahy
 Book : Fiction : Juvenile audience
Language: English
Publisher: New York : Atheneum, 1986, ©1985.

Notes:
read 50 pages. Not interested in characters; not interested in quest for her father.
8.
Give a boy a gun
by Todd Strasser
 Book : Fiction : Juvenile audience
Language: English
Publisher: New York : Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, ©2000.

Notes:
Heavyhanded and I felt like he copped out by having only one person die
9.
A brief chapter in my impossible life
by Dana Reinhardt
 Book : Elementary and junior high school : Fiction
Language: English
Publisher: New York : Wendy Lamb Books, 2006.

Notes:
not sure i have much to say about this one. Scene where they decide to adopt was very touching. Glimpses of Hasidism interesting. Otherwise good, not great
10.
King Dork
by Frank Portman
 Book : Fiction : Secondary (senior high) school
Language: English
Publisher: New York : Delacorte Press, ©2006.

Notes:
voice anachronistic; female characters undeveloped and give random bjs. Not bad but didn't have much point and with those flaws (two of my pet peeves) I can't recommend it
