No Go Ask Alice?
Isn’t this a serious omission? Or have my old eyes missed it in the “G’s”?

I cannot even begin to tell you how happy I am to have found this and you — I LOVED your column on Jezebel, and you are my kindred spirit! I have all of my old 70′s and 80′s (and 40′s – 60′s) YA books, and still gobble them up when I see them. You are the #1 person with whom I would ever want to have dinner, or whatever that hypothetical question is. Some people would dine with Nelson Mandela, but I would love to spend hours talking to you about Veronica Ganz.

Anyway, this may be over and you are undoubtedly beyond the 100, but here are a few more:

“And You Give Me a Pain, Elaine” Stella Pevsner
“Call Me Heller, That’s My Name” Stella Pevsner
“A Smart Kid Like You” Stella Pevsner

(Ms. Pevsner was the QUEEN of this I, Me, You, Another Person’s Name Category!)

“Steffi Can’t Come Out To Play” Fran Arrick (teen prostitution, and I think the pimp’s name was FANCY!)

“Introducing Shirley Braverman” by Hila Colman

“In Summertime It’s Tuffy” and “Tina GoGo” — Judie Angell…

Oh, the list is huge. Thank you for doing this, and being an inspiration!!!

10 Great Children’s Books…

In the spirit of Lizzie Skurknick’s dearly departed Fine Lines feature on Jezebel, a list of 10 great books I loved before I turned 13: Robin McKinley’s Beauty I still love this book. I own it and reread it every time I get sick or sad. I loved, as a…..
