"Here's to You, Rachel Robinson" is a 1993 novel by Judy Blume, the sequel to "Just as Long as We're Together". It is an allusion to a real person, Rachel Robinson, and the Paul Simon song, "Mrs. Robinson".
Plot
This book is written in the perspective of Rachel Robinson, who is an overacheiver and a perfectionist. She resents her older brother Charles who has been expelled from boarding school. Rachel feels Charles gets all the attention in her family, even if it is negative, and that he is driving their parents to the brink of despair. In this book, Rachel has to deal with her crush on Charles' tutor, Paul Mediros, and the fact that the best looking boy in ninth grade, Jeremy "Dragon" Kravitz (at least, to Stephanie, Allison and Rachel) is interested in her. Through family counseling, the Robinson family learn how to get along better. Also, a trip to Ellis Island changes everything forever.
