Ellen Foster Ellen Foster
by Kaye Gibbons
Announced on October 27, 1997

"When I was little I would think of ways to kill my daddy," says eleven-year-old Ellen. Thus the young narrator begins her life-story, in the process painting an extraordinary self-portrait: Ellen is a child whose courage and humor win her a place in literature alongside J.D. Salinger's Holden Caulfield.
