David and Lisa
by James Reach
From Samuel French:
The strange, appealing, and utterly fascinating story of two mentally disturbed adolescents: David, tortured by his mania against being touched, and Lisa, the waif with a split personality follows their exhilarating progress and heartrending defeats during one term at Berkeley School, where they have come under the sympathetic guidance of psychiatrist Alan Swinford and his staff. Laughter, heartbreak, and suspense distinguish this authentic and well told story.
