Editorial Review

Celine
- Book Review, by Brock Cole

From Publishers Weekly
In PW 's words, "The typical girl-meets-boy story gets turned inside out in this witty, offbeat novel. Cole's irrepressible heroine somehow manages to get the best of almost every situation. Her wry comments on everything from modern art to divorce are as perspicacious as they are delightful." Ages 12-up. Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Review
"Vivid and intelligent."--Starred, School Library Journal

"Celine is one of the wittiest narrators to step out of the pages of young adult fiction...Her targets range from modern art to televangelism and her aim is true."--The Washington Post

"An original and disarming first-person narrative about a sixteen-year-old artist and her irresolute yearnings to find a center to her life...[A] mature, fully realized work, and one that sees an exciting author, with an authentic new voice, emerging as an important spokesman for contemporary young adults."--Starred, The Horn Book

"Start to finish, this book is a delight. It is funny, witty and poignant."--The New York Times Book Review
