by Will Weaver
PRMS paperback 163 pages
genre: YA realistic fiction
This is for 8th grade book club. I didn't especially enjoy it (especially compared to other Weaver novels). There were waaay too many characters for a short book like this: Trace, Mel, Johnny, Patrick, Beau, Amber, Tudy, Sonny, Leonard, Cal, Larry, Richie, . . . .it was a challenge to keep them all straight! Car racing. Okay.

Full Service
by Will Weaver
Carver County Library, paperback, ? pages
genre: YA coming-of-age
This was our December PRMS book club title. It was a re-read for me. Will Weaver is one of my favorite Minnesota authors. In this story, a 16-year-old boy is encouraged by his mother to get a job in town (rather than staying on the farm) for the summer. When he starts working at a gas station, he "meets the public" as his mother intended. My favorite parts are the ones with the gangster. I like this main character and his growth as a young man. The book club enjoyed it.
