OLDER FICTION
Nye, Naomi Shihab

Going Going

(2) YA On Florrie's sixteenth birthday, she makes a wish to her family "that none of you will...patronize any franchise establishment for the rest of this...year...!" The San Antonio-set novel's strong message belongs honestly to Florrie, whose vivid individualism will engage readers. Nye evokes history through small details, inviting readers to view their own cities and towns with a new perspective.
