Ellen Conford - Adored Author

Though Ellen Conford's books are contemporary, they are sadly out-of-print. Featuring endearing characters and funny but realistic situations, all of her books are recommended, especially:  Seven Days to a Brand-New Me: Hilarious story of a high school girl who tries to jazz up her life through a combination of self-help and romance books.  The Alfred G. Graebner Memorial High School Handbook of Rules and Regulations, an excellent high school tale. Witty and realistic, as are all Conford books.  And Hail, Hail Camp Timberwood, the best of all summer camp YA novels. Conford deserves to be in print for decades to come. Her books are not remotely dated, despite being written twenty to thirty years ago.
