The Girl in the Glass (Ford, Jeffrey) 2005

[posted 3/26/9, but backdated to 4/3/8 because that's when I finished the book]

A perfectly fine semi-mystery set in Long Island during the Great Depression.  Nothing deep here, just a nice easy read from cover-to-cover with a well-realized teen and his father figures as the main characters, their less-well-developed love interests, and assorted sketches of minor characters ranging from entertaining circus sideshow acts to the Long Island well-to-do to a villain about as believable as Max Zorin.  Not sure this is Nebula finalist material, but well worth the read.
