Here's to You, Rachel Robinson

2001Judy Blume

2.7/5

I'm so glad I had a copy of this so I could go straight to it after finishing, 'Just As Long As We're Together'. This would have been a perfect book for me to read as a kid -- while I wasn't a gifted child, I would have related to Rachel in so many ways, in particular her worrying and her inability to express that worry. Even now I have to say this book about a thirteen year old was surprisingly cathartic! I really liked the way Rachel's older sisters acne was discussed so openly and frankly, how it was genetic, and the arguments for and against taking Accutane. I understood why her parents wanted her to wait, but also why she wanted to try it. It's a shame there isn't a third one from Alison's point of view, to round out a trilogy of three very different personality types.
