"Virginia Euwer Wolff's profound young adult literature explores issues such as mental slowness in Probably Nick Swansen, musical giftedness in The Mozart Season, racial prejudice in Bat 6, and inner-city poverty in Make Lemonade and True Believer." "The book's five chapters provide a literary and/or cultural context for each of Wolff's novels, discuss the characters in terms of the plot and style, analyze particular literary elements, and summarize critical response. Reid has not only analyzed each novel and researched salient aspects independently, but also submitted a draft of this work for Wolff's own review, which results in a more accurate book than many similar critiques."--BOOK JACKET.
