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. Simultaneous.
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
