INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Fine, Anne

Up on Cloud Nine

(1) 4-6 Struggling with the possibility that Stolly tried to take his own life, Ian relates trenchant memories of his best friend in vignettes that have the pacing and humor of comedy skits, even when the content is dark and disturbing. What initially seems to be a character study of a wildly imaginative mixed-up kid becomes a testament to the power of friendship--and to the power of story as well.
