I’m looking for a young adult book that I bought from Scholastic Book Club through school in the 1970s. Some other titles that I bought at the time are Tanya, A Crack in the Sidewalk, and The Coming Down Time. It was a book about a girl named Amy (at one point in the book she changed the spelling of her name to Aimee). She had a male friend who had acne which he called “spots.” His name may have been Peter but I’m not sure. The book dealt with serious issues, but I don’t remember what they were. I remember nothing about the cover. Can you help?

It sounds like one of the Amy and Laura OR Peter and Veronica books by Marilyn Sachs. They’re two separate short series, but there’s a lot of crossover.

I’m pretty sure this is Girl in the Cotton Wool by Diane Doubtfire. I couldn’t remember the title of it either until I stumbled on it recently.
