The Cybil War

Betsy Cromer Byars, Besty Byars

As soon as Cybil grins and crosses her eyes at Simon, he's in love. But the road to Cybil's heart is bumpy—mainly because of Simon's best friend, Tony, whose outrageous lies keep Cybil and Simon apart. "Young love, fifth-grade variety, portrayed with warmth and humor and that extra, penetrating touch one expects of Byars".—Kirkus Reviews. 10 illustrations.
