Samantha Slayton's teenage angst makes this a tale with which youngsters should easily identify. Not much happens except everyday life. However, from her point of view, her height, her clothes, her friendships, her parents, her brother, her elevation to the gifted children group and just about all else is the cause for worry. The useful lesson at the end of this hugely readable tale is that things usually come out well in the end, even for the girl the boys call 'The Empire State Building'.
