INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Young, Karen Romano

Hundred Percent

(2) 4-6 Sixth grader Christine ("Tink," short for Tinker Bell) is physically maturing faster than best friend Jackie, but Jackie feels much readier to be a teenager; that tension is evident in their frequent phone conversations, presented in script format. In an often funny, mostly episodic novel about one grade and particularly one friendship, Young is honest about the ins and outs of sixth-grade dynamics.
