I think this is one I loved very much when I was a kid, and have much wanted to reread.

This is the first book I can remember reading over and over. I got it through the Scholastic Book program in 3rd grade...I think that this book was responsible for my love of reading. Honestly, Katie John! will always have a special place in my heart. (I have now named one of my orchids Katie John.)

Re-read.
Oh, poor Katie John. Everything she touches twists around and bites her in this wonderful book about being almost-but-not-quite an adolescent. Does she really hate boys? Is she really crazy? Reading this is not unlike living through it. *squirm* Recommended.
