Hi, I read these two books for 7th Grade reading waaaay back in 1983 and would love to find them again to read....problem is can't remember the titles or who wrote them! However, I do remember quite a bit about the two books:
1. Was a novel about a teenager who worked in a fast food restaurant. It was a pretty gritty book, showing how hard it was to work in those places. The teenager (a guy) tries to get one of the female cashiers drunk in order to sleep with her and in the end, he breaks into the restaurant and steals money from the manager's office, but in the end, gets caught by the police. The cover was an illustration of a typical teen in a fast food uniform of the day, I want to say, standing in front of a giant hamburger (but I could be wrong). For years I always thought the title of the book was "I am the cheese," but this turned out to be incorrect.
