SHE'D SHOW THEM!

When Maybelle Reardon came to Kenyon High that morning the boys looked at her queerly and the other girls ignored her completely. She knew that Dennis Morrisey had told.

But what had happened in her room yesterday had been Dennis' fault. How could they blame her? All right, she decided angrily. The next time it would be her own fault. She'd give this town something to really talk about!

"The author avoids bawdiness in a story that is essentially sexy and comes up with a tale that moves his readers to compassion for his fictional heroine."
