Read this!!!!

I don't know what it is with this book but somehow the word jump out at you. It's so realistic, the characters really live. It's almost as if Linda Crew is writing an autobiography of her own life. Rulez.

Buy this book for yourself and your kids!

A coming of age story with a difference; Linda Crew's young heroine comes from a stable, middle class family that has done a good job of raising their two children, twins Kathy and Kenny. Kathy struggles with choices typical for teenagers in the sixties and makes intelligent decisions. She isn't perfect, just smart. She also is funny, scattered, passionate and thoroughly likable. Each anecdote rings true, from her disappointing audition for "The Miracle Worker" to the confrontation with a group of "jocks" one morning before school. Linda Crew makes Kathy a real girl, someone to cry with, cheer for and relate to. The problems Kathy faces as a teenager in the sixties are the same problems teenagers are dealing with now. Her ability to make wise choices makes her an excellent heroine and role model, not just for kids but for their parents too.
