Her father has enlisted her in two care-taking jobs -- baby-sitting for the rambunctious Wexler boys and, equally challenging, looking after Mrs. Randolph, her elderly, bedridden neighbor. To make matters worse, Katie has been forcibly inducted into the loser Girl Scout troop, compliments of her only new friend Cynthia's controlling mother. Her only saving grace is a trip to her childhood hometown in Texas, to visit her best friend Cherylanne. But people and places change -- and Cherylanne is no exception. When an act of betrayal leaves Katie wondering just what friends are <i>really</i> for, she learns to rely on the only one left she can trust: herself. <br> Full of the joys, anguish, and innocence of American adolescence, <i>True to Form</i> is a story sure to make readers remember and reflect on their own moments of discovery and self-definition.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>Boston Herald</i> (Editor's Pick) A convincing teen's-eye view on growing up in the summer of 1961.<br><br><i>Chicago Tribune</i> In Katie, Berg has created a narrator true to adolescent form.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Elizabeth Berg is the award-winning author of more than twenty-five books, including the <i>New York Times</i> bestsellers <i>True to Form</i>, <i>Never Change</i>, and <i>Open House.</i> She lives outside of Chicago.
