Vacation reading
While visiting my mother, I took a look at some of my old YA books. I've been playing with the idea of Mysterious Paris as a YA novel. Some books were completely the wrong idea - protagonist too young, or just not the right atmosphere at all.
Summer of my German Soldier is fairly different from what I'm trying to do with Mysterious Paris, but it was brilliant, and I couldn't put it down. I'll have to read it again, to figure out where it hooked me.
I'll have to get some recent YA from the library.

OMG! I read that way back in like 1980 or something. I was still either in elementary school or junior high. Can I tell you HOW in love I was with that book?
I didn't think anyone else had read it.
