In this story of 14-year-old Ellen's attraction to her brother's best friend, complexities more far-reaching than just sexual concerns come to the fore, when Ellen asks the two about the nature of their relationship. In PW's Best Books citation, we called it ""a thoughtful approach to the many confusing signals that accompany awakening sexuality."" Ages 14-up. (Dec.)
