 Realistic, sensitive novel that will appeal to teens May 8, 2000
Border Baker is a lot like teenagers I've known. Sometimes he wishes his family would just disappear; his friends are the ones who really matter to him. When his father moves him across the country to a tiny Minnesota town, Border has to come to terms with his family and what he really wants. That sounds serious, and some of this book, set during the Gulf War, is serious. It's also very real and often funny.

Border Baker sometimes wishes his family would just disappear. Most of his friends are the ones who really matter to him. When his father moves him across the country to a tiny Minnesota town, Border has to come to terms with his family and what he really wants. Some of this book is set during the Gulf War, which was a hectic time for some families. It's also very real and often sad. Border likes to hang out with his friends and not his parents and family. Border has had some problems in school. In his last home town he also had problems. When they move to the town in Minnesota Border kind of changes his attitudes and thinks before he acts. I would recomend this book to all you wish to read about people that are interested in family life stories. I am more of an action reader, so this book did not get all of my full attention.
