Posted by Nancy M. Young

Another installment of classics with a twist–sorry, Salinger, but this version could make the USA Today list.

Smart, troubled, virginal Holden, disguised as a boy, runs away from finishing school and embarks on a New York adventure. While standing in Central Park comparing her plight to that of the dismal ducks doomed to swim in circles before her, she encounters the wicked, womanizing Duke Antolini. The Duke, seeing through her disguise, determines to further her education.central-park-652792_1280
