Uhlig, Susan Lindsey Hits the Club
New Canaan, CT New Canaan Publishing Company c1999 1889658170 / 9781889658179 Paperback Near Fine with no dust jacket
Excellent condition, with minimal shelf wear. Ages 9-12; ; Trade PB; 96 pages; Ten-year-old Lindsey finds it hard adjusting to a new life in Washington, far away from friends and familiar faces left behind in Colorado. Nothing seems right - not the weather, not the new neighborhood, and certainly not the way kids go about making friends! The neighborhood kids have formed a club, and the club's rules are all determined by a forceful boy, Martin, the club President. Martin doesn't want to let Lindsey join in at all. He sets some tough initiation tests for her, designed to get her into trouble. Lindsey will do almost anything to make new friends, including facing up to a bully, and even risking her safety. But is she willing to do what she knows is wrong, such as stealing? LINDSEY HITS THE CLUB provides an insightful look into the tenuous world of forming friendships, with all its pitfalls and rewards. It is also a tale of encouragement in which one girl, the new kid on the block, triumphs over a status quo unfairly dominated by boys. She does so by resorting to self-reliance, intelligence, agility and a keen sense of right and wrong.
