BOOK: Cecil in space by Hite

[Frederick Muller <fmuller@TELLURIAN.NET>]

Hite, Sid. Cecil in space_,1999 [0-8050-5055-8]
Cecil is 17 and lives in a podunk town in Virginia.    This an
enjoyable story of several months in Cecil's life as the town deals
with the controversy of who painted over the town's welcome sign,
visiting his mentally ill Aunt, and above all, his growing interest in
girls.  The author has a very enjoyable style of writing and while
nothing earth-shaking happens in the book, you can't help but
really getting involved with the charcters and enjoying them.  The
writing is clever and at times very funny.  I was so sorry when the
book was over.  Unfortunately, some people may not pick up this
wonderful 150 page book because its title and cover.  It looks like
science fiction but it just refers to the fact that his Aunt thinks that
Cecil is an astronaut.  I plan to look for more books by this author.
