OLDER FICTION
Zemser, Amy Bronwen

Dear Julia

(4) YA Timid Elaine's "life's ambition" is to become a chef like Julia Child. She keeps her dream to herself until meeting zany, fame-obsessed Lucida Sans. Aided by her brothers and Lucida, Elaine learns to show off her talents. The slow plot doesn't match the boisterous, exaggerated characters, but a satisfying ending makes this tall tale of a novel worthwhile.
