That Girl Lucy Moon

295 pp. | Hyperion | September, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-7868-5298-4 $15.99
(4) 4-6 Junior-high activist Lucy Moon organizes a postcard–writing campaign after grumpy Miss Wiggins fences off the town sledding hill. Lucy becomes a hero, then a pariah, then an icon, as evidenced--and undercut--by the heavy-handed third-person narration. Lucy's triumphs and struggles (including her mother's extended absence) are well drawn, making the narrator's shrill pleas to celebrate nonconformity unnecessary.
