Hello all,

I received the following e-mail from a former patron asking about a young
adult title that she read yaers ago. I am hoping that the following
description might ring a bell with one of you. Thanks in advance!

"I lived in Kentwood from 1979-1982, and while there, checked out many
books
from your branch. One book in particular has stayed with me over the
years. The problem is, I can't remember the name, the author, or really
much about it. I am hoping that there is some way you can help.

Here is what I recall. It was probably a young adult hardcover novel,
with
a dustjacket. The plot seems to have been something like this. The
narrator (don't know if it was a young boy or girl, but I believe girl)
had
a friend named Byron. The setting may have been rural (the South?), it
probably took place during the summer, and possibly was set during the
Depression (this is a guess). Anyway, Byron was tied up to a pickup truck
and dragged behind it, and was killed. This is just about all I recall
about the book. The only other thing that might help is that I would have
checked it out in 1981 or 1982, so it must have been published prior to
that time."
