Candy Papers

Description:

TO MARKET! TO MARKET! That's where Candy was going. To Mr. Otto's market, that is, to start her part-time job. Her snobbish mother disapproved: "You'll meet all the wrong people there!" Her father lamented: "My little girl may be in danger!" Her best friend whined: "You'll never have time for me now!" Could Candy go against all of them? You bet! And it turned out to be the best decision of her life - especially when she met Larry Eagen, who from the start appeared to think that everything she did was A-Okay. [text from book jacket]
