Annie On My Mind
Garden, N. (1982). Annie on my mind. NY: FSG. Annie and Liza quickly become friends after meeting at a museum. Liza goes to a private school. She wants to go to MIT to become an architect. Liza goes to public school, plans on going to Berkeley, and is a wonderful singer. Their friendship grows into love and Liza for the first time is thinking that she might be gay. While house-sitting for two teachers, Liza and Annie are caught in a compromising situation. This puts Liza's future and the future of her favorite teachers in jeopardy because of the narrow mindedness of the leaders at her school. I found myself wanting Liza and Annie to tell their parents the truth about their sexual orientation. This is a good story about first love. Young adults may read autobiographically and it may help them navigate issues they face.
