Eggs
by:  Jerry Spinelli

David is supposed to be hunting Easter Eggs, but ends up finding a dead body of a teenage girl instead.  Well, that's what he thought - she was just pretending to be dead.

Primrose is her name.  She and David are both from broken homes and become friends who help eachother deal with what's missing in their lives.

Very good!

1998 Newbery Honor Book
Cover image for Wringer

everyone expects you to do.
