Goodbye, Miss Kitty by Jane L. Sears:

Karen, faced with the destruction of her world as her parents contemplate divorce, finds that she can't even keep her beloved cat, who is about to have kittens -- but then, along comes Pete.

Dog-Sitter by Carl Henry Rathjen:

Tena has to learn -- but fast! -- how to control a huge, spoiled dog who's a real delinquent. In the process, she learns how to handle her problems with a boy and a scholarship.

Fly Free by Carol S. Adler:

Clare, bitter and withdrawn after her hand is mutilated, is forced, when Jon needs her friendship and understanding, to stop thinking only of herself.

A Person, After All by Constance Kwolek:

Anne discovers, in the hardest way of all, that teachers are people -- very real people, with interesting personal lives and intense personal feelings.

Two Nice Girls by Frances Gray Patton:

Vesta and Sally B., so much alike and yet so different, must fight each other's prejudice, as well as their own, to preserve the friendship they both treasure and need.

They Don't Make Glass Slippers Anymore by Lael J. Littke:

Darlene's highly unsatisfactory love life is set right only after her young brother takes to tossing a pair of raw chickens hither and yon -- and finally in the direction of a new boy.

The Year of the Baby by Carol Madden Adorjan:

Lorna, an only child, is smugly comfortable and self-centered. Suddenly confronted with the prospect of a new baby in the house, she's sure that her life is shattered -- until her friend, knee-deep in younger siblings, gives her something to think about.

The Summer of Charley Crip by Suzanne Roberts:

Karry learns to love unselfishly when Lang teaches her it's best to set free the object of her love.

Debbie Faces Herself by Pauline Smith:

Debbie discovers that she must grow out of being a typical teenager -- and do it all in a single day. She does it, too, while concealing from her mother the tragic reason for her decision.

No Boy. I'm a Girl! by M.J. Amft:

Debbie, another and very different teenager, keeps her life and everybody else's in a turmoil because of her addiction to "rights." Her running feud with the high school principal over dress is the stuff over which legend is made.
