Brief description:
From the dust jacket:
Parri is convinced that if her cousin Davy would just confide in her she could help him solve all his problems. Davy, who is now a plebe at West Point, is just as convinced that interference by Parri is the last thing he needs.
Davy’s roommate is a moody, unhappy young man named John Robinson, the son of a United States senator. Davy has just about given up trying to understand John, but when John decides to go AWOL, Davy feels‘ that it is his duty to stop him from making a mistake that could ruin his life.
And to Davy’s amazement, who should come along at exactly the right moment, but Parri proves her usefulness in other ways, and Davy begins to think that his young cousin is not so bad after all.
Parri, of course, has her own active life, playing a leading role in the high school play, which her producer-father, Josh MacDonald, directs. She attends a West Point plebe dance, and is becoming quite the budding belle.
Few writers can capture the world of the teenager with the skill of Janet Lambert as she has done in this story with its West Point back ground, its irresistible heroine, and its engaging young men.
