Editorial Reviews

Gr 6-9--Linda Berman and her boy friend, Lenny Lipoff, are back again in this sequel to All for the Love of That Boy (Archway, 1989), which is a sensible presentation of the realities of life for teens caring about someone de spite his or her faults. Decisions about the future are developed consistently and credibly within the plot; although Linda and Lenny are true city kids, readers everywhere should be able to identify with them. Their lives are not straightforward and fairy-tale perfect, but are fraught with believable difficulties and satisfying resolutions.--Al ice Cronin, Mountainside Public Li brary, NJ
