DOLORES: Seven Stories About Her

Bruce Brooks, . . HarperTempest, $6.99 (144pp) ISBN 978-0-06-054062-3

An uncommonly beautiful and bright girl evolves from an outgoing, trusting seven-year-old to a cynical, seemingly friendless teenager. PW called Brooks's portrayal of Dolores "the literary equivalent of the adolescent experience: a heightened intelligence, a raised consciousness and a flurry of contradictions." Ages 12-up. (Oct.)
