The Dream Watcher

Albert Scully is the quintessential miserable teenager. He considers himself the "All-American" failure until he meets Mrs. Orpha Woodfin, an eighty-year-old neighborhood eccentric who helps him to see the value of being an individual. Originally published in 1968 — the same year as Paul Zindel's The Pigman and the year after S.E. Hinton's The Outsider — The Dream Watcher heralded the beginning of books written specifically for young adults.
