About the author

With a relentless concern about contemporary issues and problems that affect teenagers, Gloria D. Miklowitz (USA, b. 1927) examined such topics as rape, suicide, teen marriage, divorce, AIDS, sexual abuse, and racial prejudice in her novels. She helped teen readers look at underground militias, vigilantism, religious cults, steroid use among high school athletes, and the effects of nuclear war. She enabled readers to view the famous battle of Masada from both sides. She also wrote nonfiction on a variety of subjects, from earthquakes and raccoons to President Harry Truman, civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., and tennis star Tracy Austin.

The fact that nearly 40 years after I read this book I still remember it fairly clearly shows that it made an impression on me. I wish I could remember what happened to my copy. I'm guessing it was in the stuff that we lost when I was 15. I bought it from the Scholastic book sale that the schools had.

Eerie. But awesome reading.

Out-dated but vivid description of the repercussions of rape.
