by Emily Hallin (1986)
WAS SHE MAKING A MISTAKE? Tracy wondered if it was okay for her to get interested in the brother of her sister's fiancé'. It seemed sort of weird, but she really liked Biff, and she had a feeling that he felt the same way about her. But there were a few problems: her best friend seemed to be monopolizing him, and Tracy had reason to suspect that Biff might be adopting a life-style that most definitely was not hers. Was it true, as Craig told Janine, that Biff was a boozer? At the tender age of fifteen, was he really ruining his chances not only to be on the basketball team but also of making it as a team with Tracy? [text from book jacket]
