Kluger, Steve

My Most Excellent Year: A Novel of Love, Mary Poppins, & Fenway Park

(2) YA For an eleventh-grade writing assignment, T.C., Augie, and Alé recount their freshman year shenanigans, friendships, and heartaches. Kluger has a fine touch with characterization (a subplot involving a deaf six-year-old's obsession with Mary Poppins is poignant and believable), and his teenagers have strong, distinct voices. He also has a good ear for dialogue and establishes a definite sense of place.
