Here's Looking at You, Kid: Seventeen-year-old Eric
Fine is new in the neighborhood, and he doesn't quite fit in with the other
kids. He's not a jock, he likes to write, and he's an old-movie buff. That's
why he's delighted when he meets Enid, a fellow movie buff, at a Bergman
film. Enthusiastically, they plan to write their first screenplay together.
But life gets complicated when Eric meets Kimberly, a bouncy blond cheerleader
who is Enid's next-door neighbor. He neglects the screenplay and takes up
jogging to impress Kimberly. As Eric begins to see more of Kimberly, his
special friendship with Enid falls apart, and he can't quite figure out why.
How can Eric decide which relationship means more to him?
"Zalben has captured the mixture of elation and discomfort as well as awkwardness that accompanies many high-school romances. The main characters have depth... The writing style is fast-paced, upbeat, and terse. Dialogue is witty... This title is likely to be read by boys as well as girls." -- School Library Journal (Farrar, Straus, & Giroux, 1984; Dell, 1987) |
