Publisher's Summary
In this Newbery Medal-winning novel, Debbie Pelbry wishes something would happen. So do her friends in their small hometown of Seldem. And things do happen: They meet new people (people with possibilities), they learn to do new things (like play the guitar or drive a car), and they spend time with one another (at picnics and pig roasts, on roofs and in driveways). In this lyrical, funny, and gentle novel, a group of teenagers begin to find themselves.
What the critics say
"Best of all are the understated moments, often private and piercing in their authenticity, that capture intelligent, likable teens searching for signs of who they are, and who they'll become." (Booklist)
"Young teens will certainly relate to the self-consciousnesses and uncertainty of all of the characters, each of whom is straining toward clarity and awareness." (School Library Journal)
