Wow, it's so great to see someone else who likes these books. I only found them last year, thru an Amazon rec based on my other purchases. I first got them from the library, and liked them so much I had to have copies for myself.

Then I sent them as gifts to my 12 year old niece in Chicago.

Her 46 year old mother loved them too.

BTW - I was 48 when I read them. I have found so many wonderful books that were aimed for the YA market.
