摘要
Dear Annabelle,Hi, my name's Guy. In case you've never heard of me, I'm sending this because my Dad and your Dad think we ought to be e-mail pen-pals. I bet you've got far better things to do than write to a boy you've never even met, so I won't mind if you don't want to bother.Best wishes,Guy WoodhamDear woodham@woodworks.com,You're right, I've never heard of you. However, as this is clearly a Dad thing and I will get hassled by He Who Must Be Obeyed, I will add you to my list.Your turn, AnnabelleP.S. Your name's got to go. You surely can't expect me to write "Hi Guy" at the beginning of a letter? I mean, yuk. It rhymes! Though reluctant to correspond at first, Guy and Annabelle become fast cyber-friends and, just maybe, something more. But their budding relationship creates havoc when they start to speculate about what caused a feud between their fathers, letting their imaginations run wild -- with hilarious results.

Some 100 miles separate the home towns of British teenagers Annabelle and Guy, but the two bond quite quickly through the e-mails that compose the narrative of this refreshing, inventively plotted novel from a British team. "I'm sending this because my Dad and your Dad think we ought to be e-mail pen-pals," writes Guy in his inaugural cursory missive, which provokes several caustic responses from the brassy Annabelle. But before long the two let their guards down, as each affectingly divulges details of recent traumas (his mother died of cancer, her cat had to be put to sleep) as well as the frustrations of daily life (his former girlfriend begins dating his best friend, she loses the lead role in her school play to her nemesis). The authors add diverting dimension by weaving into their tale strands about the shared past lives of their parents, which become intricately and quite amusingly tangled as the e-mailers' imaginations run wild. Occasionally, the duo spontaneously zaps through cyberspace with correspondence that seems too polished and witty to have been created by a 14- and 15-year-old. Yet d'Lacey (intriguingly, a male writing in Annabelle's voice) and Newbery (who contributes Guy's voice) have shaped two very distinct and likable characters and a cleverly composite tale. Kids will happily log on. Ages 12-up. (July) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
