Big Apple!

[kjpepper]

So sundart and I are brainstorming a list of young adult books set in New York City. So far we've come up with

• From the mixed up files files of Mrs Basil E frankweiler (EL Konigsburg)
  
• the cricket in times square (?)
  
• Remember me to Harold Square (Lois Lawry?)
  
• Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, other books with those kids (Judy Blume)
  
• So you want to be a wizard, Book of Night with Moon (Diane Duane)
  
• A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (?)
  
• Tessie (Jesse Jackson - probably out of print)
  
• lots of out of print Ann M Martin

any other ideas? I know you folks are literary sorts.

I know one!

It's "A Begonia for Ms. Applebaum" by Paul Zindel. I read it in junior high. It was depressing but awesome. Also, "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" was written by Betty Smith. I loves that one. Yes I does.

I couldn't italicize the book titles. Sorry.
