Gold Flake Hydrant

Greg Matthews. Plume Books, $8.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-452-26222-5

Matthews here continues the story of Burris Weems, the teenage protagonist he introduced in The Little Red Rooster. At this point, Burris (among his other problems) has flunked out of high school, can't find a job and has lost his girlfriend. PW found that the narrative ``continually entertains.'' (July)
