Description:
*Tori* Tori has a quick answer, a joke, or an insult, for everyone - except Dom, the one boy she really cares about. She never knows what to say to him and feels so confused and uncomfortable. Does he want her to change? Be more "ladylike"? Can she become somebody else? *The Best Summer* For Sandy, summer is rowing and swimming and picnics...and Greg. This should be her best summer ever! She and Greg have both entered the community boat race. But suddenly the race doesn't matter to Greg anymore - and maybe Sandy doesn't either. She feels so hurt. What went wrong? Why doesn't he care?
