Negative Positive
Title: A Good Little Gem
Review: While "Criss Cross" is causing all the commotion, "All Alone in the Universe", the debut novel of Perkins, is so much better. The story is about a girl named Debbie just hitting her teen years. With everything that's happening to her, she has a best friend to talk to, right? Not for long. After 140 pages, your heart will be twisted as you watch through Debbie's eyes how her relationship with her best friend ends over one summer. This book is small, but packs a very powerful punch, leaving you to ponder, "What would you do at a time like this?"
