Since Pluto, a planet in our solar system that has been accepted for

76 years as 'equal' and 1 with our 8 other 'ap' planets, haha, has

now been downsized to a 'dwarf' planet, all sorts of bumper sticker

makers, tee shirt makers, and anybody and everybody who has a printer

too, have been cashing in on Pluto's downsize by making and selling

their wares to anyone and everyone who will buy such.

Maybe at next year's convention, a Pluto themed banquet can be done,

since Pluto is now 'one of us', or one of those who is no longer is

accepted as being 'average sized'. Awww, poor Pluto, how I identify

with thee! hehe

Interesting new book that sounds touching and caring. I don't know

anything about the author, if she is an lp or not, or even if the

subjects in her novel are based on real people too, but it looks to

be a great read.

" The Heights, the Depths, and Everything in Between " by Sally Nemeth

(Knopf Books, ages 10 and up, $15.95) is a realistic look into junior

high school life.

The first few days of junior high are bad enough, but imagine being a

5-foot-10-inch girl named Lucy Small whose best friend is a dwarf

named Jake Little. Lucy's family is going through a trial separation.

Jake's parents are divorced and dating others. These two friends need

each other so much, but junior high pulls them in diverse directions.

Can they continue to help each other through the tough times, or are

they becoming completely different people?

This is an excellent first novel. Nemeth's story is engaging with

realistic conversation and interesting plot twists. Setting her book

in the 1970s lets her consider the commonalities of adolescence

without being caught up in contemporary fads that change so quickly.
