I found Blue Skies No Candy in the school library in grade 7 so that was 1976 and it may have been above my maturity level,having said that,I LOVED IT!!!!And I thought to myself after reading it ,I am not going to tell anyone about this book because once they read it ,word will get back to the teacher and she will surely pull it from the shelves!!! I an now 60 and I have never Forgotten about this book!!!
