Her mother—well, she’s packing up and relocating to New York City with Sammie, who has no say about any of it. Overnight Sammie is forced to deal with change. And one change spawns another: Roles get reversed, old and new friendships tested, and sexual feelings awakened. It’s a scary time. But as Sammie realizes that things can’t stay the same forever, that even the people she loves and trusts the most can disappoint her, she begins to accept that change isn’t always bad. It’s how you cope, jumbled feelings and all, that counts. And as she copes, Sammie’s sense of self emerges proud and strong.

Some of the proposals are succinct, such as rap superstar Puffy Combs's call for "the presence of God in the lives of more Americans." Other contributors, like political analyst Dick Morris or entertainer Connie Stevens, have entire wish lists. (And yes, that's Amazon.com's own Jeff Bezos, squeezed between Senator John McCain and John McLaughlin, urging parents to read--and discuss--the Declaration of Independence with their children.) Some of the sharpest work comes from the cartoonists, including Ted Rall, Roz Chast, Tom Tomorrow, Dan Piraro, and Tom Toles. And then there are the satirists--Eric Bogosian's suggestion to detonate some nukes to give America a transformative "near-death experience" is probably the most outrageous, though Michael Moore's insistence that corporations should fire their employees and rely on cheap prison labor is a strong runner-up. The mixture of thoughtful and silly responses in 250 Ways to Make America Better provides a unique snapshot of the concerns of U.S. citizens at the end of the 20th century. ]]> 170367 0.0 0 1 27621 3.73 3283 583 1999
