Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Set in California in 1949, young Francine Green finds it best to lay low and keep to herself, especially with people being investigated and blacklisted for speaking their minds, yet when Sophie Bowman suddenly shows up at her school and makes her protests known, Francine Green's deferential attitude is forever changed.
Review:
"The dialogue is sharp, carrying a good part of this story of friends and foes, guilt and courage--a story that ought to send readers off to find out more about McCarthy, his witch-hunt and the First -."
Kirkus Reviews, 07/01/2006
Review:"Sure to provoke lively class discussion, this will easily absorb independent readers in search of a rich, satisfying story about early adolescence."
Booklist, 07/01/2006

Francine Green doesn't speak up much, and who can blame her? Her parents aren't interested in her opinions, the nuns at school punish girls who ask too many questions, and the House Committee on Un-American Activities is blacklisting people who express unpopular ideas.

Francine would rather lose herself in a book, or in daydreams about her favorite Hollywood stars, than risk attracting attention or getting in trouble.But when outspoken, passionate Sophie Bowman transfers into Francine's class at All Saints School for Girls, Francine finds herself thinking about things that never concerned her before?free speech, the atom bomb, the existence of God, the way people treat each other. Eventually, Francine discovers that she not only has something to say, she is absolutely determined to say it.Once again, Karen Cushman follows a young woman's progress toward her true self, this time exploring the nature of friendship and the experience of growing up Catholic in an era that is both fascinating and relevant to today's young people.
