When the Phone Rang

Harry Mazer. Scholastic, $2.5 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-590-40383-2

Billy Keller, his older brother Kevin and younger sister Lori try to hold together after a plane crash kills their parents. PW termed this ""a solid novel, which is also very sad. Mazer strikes a realistic note at the outset, but it's hard to believe that the Kellers accomplish the many intricate feats that the author describes.'' (12-up)
