Now reading The Birdchild & other stories, Patricia Grace & enjoying it.
I might go back & read another of hers when I finish this, It used to be Green once, in the Dream sleepers book of short stories, which I like to read every so often.
Especially that story because she catches so perfectly the embarrassment felt by the kids about their parents & especially their car. I love the bit where their teacher is offered a lift but told he has to run & jump in because the brakes no longer work... & does!

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
