Although Suzanne Newton has written other adolescent novels, none has been as well received as I Will Call It Georgie's Blues. Several follow her pattern of creating characters who learn to stand up and be themselves. Rosalee Brigham in C/O Arnold's Corners helps the community learn to accept outsiders such as the "hippie" artist who has come to town. In M. V. Sexton Speaking, Martha Venable Sexton turns sixteen, gets her first job, and presses for information about her parents who died when she was six. Also learning to cope with family problems is Arden in An End to Perfect. Her brother Hill is going to live with his grandparents and her best friend Dor Jo runs away from her violent mother and is taken in by Arden's family.
