Fire Island (NY)

YA
On Fire Island in the summer of 1976, Jean (whose wealthy family is a pillar of the exclusive community) and working-class Southern girl Fritz (who's just visiting a friend's family there) compete on the tennis court as well as off for the affection of handsome but insensitive Gil. Griffin expertly evokes time, place, and atmosphere as the girls' rivalry builds to a shocking climax.

Illustrated by
Edward Ardizzone.
These reissues have bright new jacket art but, happily, retain the original interior illustrations.
