It's All Your Fault

Gr 7 Up—Seventeen-year-old Caitlin Mary Prudence Rectitude Singleberry is part of a wholesome family singing troupe from Parsippany, NJ, and her cousin Heller Harrigan is about to be a movie star. They haven't spoken in years, since Heller accidentally almost killed Caitlin. In the meantime, Heller has gotten into so much trouble that she must be watched with hawk-like cunning lest she makes more mischief while the world awaits her debut in the most highly anticipated movie of the year. Caitlin's plan is to turn Heller into a sweet, generous, kind, God-fearing, knee sock—wearing image of perfection—like herself. Of course, it is Caitlin who finds love and trouble, but Heller isn't far behind. Stephanie Drake's narration is youthful and sweet. If she sounds a bit more Valley Girl than Morris County miss, it still works.
