>I’m not sure just what I meant, but Millicent and the Dicey books are excellent examples of devious connections among novels (I don’t remember the Ruby books well enough to say). Isn’t there a mention in Homecoming or Dicey’s Song of Gran having thrown a telephone through a window, a scene we get to see for ourselves in The Runner?

>And if that is what you mean, then Cynthia Voigt did that with Homecoming and Come a Stranger (from Mina’s pov) and the whole Tillerman series.

>Not sure if this is exactly what you mean, but I will be a book-proud editor and point out the work of Lisa Yee, whose MILLICENT MIN, GIRL GENIUS; STANFORD WONG FLUNKS BIG-TIME, and SO TOTALLY EMILY EBERS examine one summer (and often the same scenes) among three friends from their three very different points of view.

>Rosa Guy? Didn’t she examine the same events from different viewpoints in some of her books? I think that I remember The Friends overlapping with Edith Jackson and another book.
