Product: Gabrielle's Bully (Young Adult Romance)
Originally Published in 1983 as THAT CERTAIN BOY 
 
THERE'S A NEW BOY IN GABY'S SCHOOL... 
 
She never would have noticed him, except that he was in her trigonometry class and that he dressed like a throwback to 1962. Soon she began to notice other things...that he was a star athlete, that he wouldn't allow himself to be pushed around by the class bully, that he liked to read poetry, and most important of all, that she was falling in love with him. 
 
At first this discovery was pure happiness. But all too soon their relationship swept them into deep waters. Now Gaby wasn't at all sure that she would be able to cope with her newfound tumultuous feelings and continue to see the boy she loved.
