I also picked up 2 YA novels on the 95 cent clearance table at the book store for myself, Summer of My German Soldier by Bette Greene and You Can't Fall for your Step-Sister by Ann Bryant.
Lastly (on the 95 cent table again) I picked up another copy ... ... in the way! I did just finish another book, however, a YA novel I started reading at school. (I am a teacher.)
41. Summer of My German Soldier by Bette Greene (199 pages)
The book was ok, but the ending was disappointing - too many things left unresolved. I wonder if there's a ... #279 - Summer of My German Soldier is a great book! I enjoyed it very much.
I haven't had much time to read this week. I'm currently reading Elantris and Wings to the Kingdom by Cherie Priest. I finally started Summer of my German Soldier today, and even though I'm only about 35 pages into it I want to beat the snot out of both the mother and the father! Poor little kid.
}:o( I just came home with The Haunting of Hill House and The Summer of My German Soldier, which were both highly recommended by some of you nice people! :o) One not mentioned that I remember reading (and enjoying, although I would never have tried it on my own) was Summer of my German Soldier.

I remember not having any problems getting into To Kill a Mockingbird, Summer of my German Soldier and Lord of the Flies when they were assigned in junior high, even though they were not books I would have picked up on my own.

Another good one is Summer of My German Soldier - video much loved, but book still on `books to be read` shelf, along with another by Greene.

Everybody,
I saw Altman`s ... I'd have to agree with To Kill a Mockingbird and, another that I read in high school, Summer of my German Soldier by Bette Greene.
