Rebel, Rebel (Girl Talk)

Randy Zak is starting to get homesick for New York City, even though her mother wants to remain in Acorn Falls, Minnesota. Can her male friend (Sheck) from NY, who's coming to visit for Thanksgiving, help her make up her mind?Out of the four girls in this series, Randy is my favorite, and I could empathize with her in "Rebel, Rebel" (though I'm not sure why it was titled that). While reading this book, I kept flashing on another series character: Stacey McGill from The Baby-sitters Club, who shares quite a few similarities with Randy--they're both from NYC (and miss it), they dress a little wild, both of their parents are divorced and they live with their mothers, etc. Young readers who like that series will probably like Girl Talk as well. (But what's up with the pink-is-for-girls, Pepto Bismal book coloring? It's an eye sore.)
