Best Enemies Again
Kathleen Leverich. Greenwillow Books, $14 (96pp) ISBN 978-0-688-09440-9
Priscilla Robin and Felicity Doll are back again, in this wickedly funny sequel to Best Enemies --Priscilla is the same honest, good-natured heroine and Felicity is the same shrewd schemer. This time Felicity is plotting on a much grander scale, and each trick seems harder for Priscilla to overcome. The coup de grace is Felicity's ingenious plan to force Priscilla into another year of riding her battered bike. While kids will laugh out loud at the sheer beauty of Felicity's nastiness, they will also cheer when her plans backfire in Priscilla's favor. Best Enemies Again is a perfect example of all that is right in children's books, as youngsters will quickly recognize in these endearing heroines that same essential truth they love in Beverly Cleary's Beezus and Ramona. A book not to be missed. Ages 7-up. (May)
