Donna Parker: A Spring to Remember - Marcia Martin
Note: There is no apparent ISBN on this book.
Pub: Whitman Publishing Company 1960 (Hardcover)
My mom found a box full of old kids' books. They belonged to me, though most were initially hers or were her garage sale finds. The binding on this book is a little worn, and it has that dusty, old-book smell. So of course I had to read it!
I won't bother to rate the books I found in this box, as what are the chances that you'll be able to get a copy of something that is technically now considered to be an antique?
Synopsis: Donna Parker is graduating from junior high. She grows up a lot over this last year as she procures a boyfriend, Richard, who is really named Paul; her best friend Ricky's mother dies and Ricky goes bonkers; she attends a wedding where she is shown to be a complete child, which gets her to understand Ricky's plight a little better; bla bla bla etc etc.
Features terrific slang terms like "Gleeks!" and "Goodness!", and the hip clothes are considered to be a good pair of plaid bermuda shorts. Ahh, youth.
All in all, an entertaining, short read. Took me about an hour.
