They were smart young kids with souped up motor cycles, ornamented black leather jackets and skid-lids.

They larked around and took big risks; but, in the main, they were harmless enough.

Until, that is, crime came unbidden into their midst . . .

COOKIE

"At thirteen," says Barbara Quinn, "I was a gang leader in Yonkers, N.Y. At fourteen, I was arrested for sexual assault. At sixteen, I was married (the marriage didn't last long), at seventeen, I was a mother.

"At nineteen, I was a prostitute, mugger and thief. I drifted in and out of institutions  for three years . . . and attempted suicide by knife, gas and pills."

Today Barbara is a Senior Addiction Specialist in the Human Resources Administration of the City of New York. Synanon was the turning point. She dropped the nickname "Cookie" and became Barbara once again.

After intense self-examination, she has written this courageous, explosive account of her youth. Those who are not repelled by the horror of this gripping history will be rewarded with the heartening story of a young girl's struggle for identity.

SHOCKINGLY DIFFERENT

CRAZY MIXED-UP KIDS is a shockingly different collection of modern short stories by some of the best names in current fiction. These stories have a common theme - the "crazy mixed-up" behavior of the young. Everyone is aware today of the terrible problems of juvenile delinquency - here are stories that face these problems with as much force and urgency as THE BLACKBOARD JUNGLE.

In this collection you'll find startling examples of teen-age problems, handled by such writers as William Faulkner, Jean-Paul Sartre, Dylan Thomas, Glenway Wescott, Charles Jackson, and many others.

PASSION TRAIL

Wendie had a warm body, a torrid itch . . . and a frigid boy friend. Bill might be ideal husband material, but until the knot was tied he wasn't going to touch her. And she wanted to be a lot more than touched!

Mickey was - something else! He knew how to get the most out of a bike . . . . or a girl. He lived at top speed, and plunged into sex to the hilt. And Mickey and Wendie slaked all their desires by plunging together . . . 

Wendie joined the leather girls. She followed the lawless trail wherever it led: into gang fights, into robberies, into orgies, into oddball sex . . . and into a tempestuous, lascivious climax that blew the bike gangs and Wendie's wanton world to smithereens!
