(3) 4-6 When the union at the town newspaper goes on strike, Gwen and her cousin Jess end up on opposite sides of the picket line--one of their dads is union, the other management. The strike tears apart both their friendship and the summer baseball league Gwen lives for. The ramifications of the strike are given a nuanced portrayal, while Gwen's efforts to untangle her feelings about it have a ring of authenticity.
