Ozzy on the Outside

R. E. Allen, Richard E. Allen. Laurel Leaf Library, $3.5 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-440-20767-2

When his mother is killed in a car accident, Ozzy leaves his Colorado home for New Orleans, where a gritty Southern girl sets him back on track; PW said, ``The author nimbly contrasts romantic fantasy with reality, leaving readers satisfied that the latter is always much more desirable.'' Ages 12-up. (June)
