Wildfire #43 The Boy for Me and #44 Class Ring

43. The Boy for Me, Jane Claypool Miner, 1983

Maggie has been in love with Tony for almost a year—and he doesn't even know it!  Tony is her
older brother's best friend.  He's forever hanging around the house, but all he seems interested in is fixing up cars with Bob. 

Then Maggie begins dating other guys—and suddenly Tony starts paying a lot of attention to her.  But she can't tell if he's being protective, or if he's actually jealous. 

Will Tony always think Maggie is just Bob’s little sister?

I found this book good enough that I finished it.  However, I did not find it very interesting and would never read it again.

44. Class Ring, Josephine Wunsch, 1983

Jill breezes into Sherry's life one spring day, and after that nothing is the same.  Sherry is fascinated by her—at first—and introduces her to all her friends.  

So she’s shocked when Jill starts spending time with Kent. He's Sherry's boyfriend.  They've been going steady for a year, and Sherry's even wearing his class ring.  

But Jill is serious about Kent, and soon he stops calling Sherry or mentioning the prom.  Sherry wonders if Kent ever loved her at all.

I read Class Ring when I was in junior high, and I am quite confident that it is the only Wildfire book that I read as a teenager.  I recall that I enjoyed the book.  The story holds up well.  This book is excellent.
