INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Hicks, Betty

Animal House and Iz

(4) 4-6 Comfortably adjusted to living with her father, his new wife, and three stepbrothers, Iz begins to feel pangs of guilt when her mother suggests that Iz come live with her. Though the main plot--Iz and her stepbrothers try to convince their parents to let them have a dog--is rather timeworn, the dynamics of living in a stepfamily are believably portrayed in this mildly humorous novel.
