#1 Debbie Jones
Roommates
Laura Cooper Rendina This will introduce Debbie Jones, who was not the plain Jane her name implies. She was a smooth blond Sophomore, an outgoing personality who loved to fool around with the gang and be in plays and kid the teachers into believing she aimed to become a writer some day. Debbie came from a large family of brothers and sisters where you learned fast to get along with others, while being strictly on your own.
But for once Debbie was stumped - she simply could not hit it off with Rachele Newman, and she'd drawn Rachele as her roommate at Pine Ridge School - Rachele with her grown up-tastes and cultivated ways; Debbie roughhousing with her stuff all over the place! And Rachele's father a popular novelist, separated from her mother, while Debbie's Dad and Mom struggled indistinguishably together to bring up the family! And Rachele knowing all those grown-up artists, and living in New York, and wearing Paris models, and...and -
Well, if it hadn't been for what Debbie's older brother Phil discovered about Rachele this might have been a quite different story, instead of something pretty satisfying about what can happen to exact opposites when they begin to look around them. (quoted from the dust-jacket)
