You dont have to be Jewish to remember Sadie Shapiro, the little old lady who warmed America sheart in Sadie Shapiro s Knitting Book which was not only a funny name for a novel, but a very funny novel as well. This time, Sadie creates another public sensation, in Florida of all places, and almost becomes a public enemy. A lmost. For who can believe that the worlds best knitter, who jogs every other day and who treats Johnny Carson like he was her grandson, could become implicated in a building scandal involving millions of dollars for a revolutionary new project for America s Senior Citizens which may never get built? Not, at any rate, without the help of the indomitable Sadie and her friends, including the legendary Prince of Pot Cheese (S adies long-lost old flame), a beautiful woman reporter, a handsome young architect, a 72-yearold tap dancer, Sadie snew husband, Sam Beck, and the whole mishpocha of Sadie scontemporaries. Who else but Sadie could triumph over the cops, the DA, bankruptcy, a fire and ruinous publicity? Where else could it all happen but in Miami? Read, read, enjoy! $7.

It's tough for eleven-year-old Ned to stop eating. At four-feet-eight inches tall he weighs one hundred and nine pounds, and he keeps growing--wider. When his pareents send him to a summer diet camp, he and his bunkmates can't quite give up their old habits. The joys of candy and doughnuts are so appealing that "cheating" adventures seems to be the only answer. The problem, of course, is how to lose weight and keep eating sweets. When Ned finally realizes that there is only one way to lose weight for good, his whole family is glad to help, except Grandma. How can he resist temptation without hurting his grandma and himself?

When a new friend tells him that "the squeaky wheel gets the grease," Mark Baker realizes that unless he finds the courage to confront his life, things will probably get worse. Mark's world has been turned upside down by the split between his parents. He's been forced to leave his old neighborhood and his old friends. Now he's living with his mother in a new apartment in a new town. Mark still longs to be back in his old school, once again to ride his bike, to go on living in the house where he grew up. But it's the loss of his father that worries Mark most of all. The man he depended on seeing every day is disappearing from his life. This deeply felt novel explores the angry territory of a child trapped in a war between parents he truly loves. Does Mark have any rights at all? And how can he find a road past feuding parents so he can get on with his life? With understanding, compassion, and surprising humor, Robert Kimmel Smith has created a story that gives us a fresh look at the most disturbing aspects of divorce.
