THIS FULL HOUSE
by Virginia Euwer Wolff
(Harper)
I cannot tell you how long it's been since I read Make Lemonade or True Believer. However, I can tell you it DOESN'T MATTER. This finale to the trilogy will zoom you right back into LaVaughn's world, and even if you don't remember all the details that came before, you will instantly remember how these characters made you feel. Plus, they are all of them trying so, so hard that you can't look away - even if you happen to be feverish and in need of a nap, as I was.
As for what happens? I've heard a reliable rumor that the author is spoiler-sensitive. And holy crap, no wonder. You will discover more about some of these characters than you ever thought to ponder. (Except for what race they are, of course. Clever author!) So much so, that I'm dying to know if Virginia Euwer Wolff had this plot in mind all along or if it revealed itself to her piecemeal. I'm not sure which would be more impressive.
And the cover - what a teaser! (Though you have to see the spine and the flap to know why.)
