Plastic Fantastic
Simon Cheshire, . . Delacorte, $8.95 (152pp) ISBN 978-0-385-73213-0
Readers will be drawn in by the fun premise here: Dominic, a fanboy of pop group Plastic, gets trapped in an elevator with the band's "gorgeous, talented, self-assured, powerful, respected" frontwoman. It takes more than two hours to fix, during which time Dominic tries to explain his devotion to the band ("How can a throwaway pop band like Plastic be your whole life? What kind of wasted life are you leading?" challenges the rather blunt singer Lisa Voyd). In doing so, the 15-year-old reveals much about his life, including which girl he should be devoted to.
