Publication: Phillip Hall likes me: I reckon maybe.

• Greene, Bette

Eleven-year-old Beth thinks that Philip Hall likes her, but
their on-again, off-again relationship sometimes makes her
wonder.  Philip Hall is the cutest, smartest boy in the
class, and Beth Lambert loves him. The fact that he beats
her in classwork, conniving, and just about everything else
doesn't particularly bother Beth at first. Then she realizes
that Philip might be best in everything because she's
letting him beat her. And coming out on top is just too
natural a thing for Beth to hold back for very long,
especially when it comes to catching turkey thieves, or
winning calf-raising contest, or making mountain-top
rescues, or capturing the affections of a young boy.
