Benjamin, Carol Lea NOBODY'S BABY NOW New York : Macmillan, 1984. IL 4-6 Olivia is one of the guys but wants to become someone special to Brian Kaplan, who works with her on the Draw 'n Shoot, an art and photography magazine at school. When she's kicked out of her room because her grandmother moves in, she has reason to feel upset. She gains confidence in her ability to get along with people as she does a better job of relating to grandmother than her mother does. Her new self-confidence, along with advice from grandmother that still fits today's boy-girl relationships sets her going in the kind of friendship she hopes for with Brian.
