Kathleen Jeffrie Johnson, . . Dell/Laurel-Leaf, $5.99 (240pp) ISBN 978-0-440-23852-2

One summer, a 15-year catches her "hot" older neighbor having sex with her stepmother and is confronted with a "parallel universe of liars." In a starred review, PW said that the "refreshingly ordinary narrator frankly and even humorously deals with the sensitive topics of sex and race." Ages 12-up. (Mar.)
