An Energetic, Optimistic Story

What a pleasurable contrast to lugubrious teen fiction this book is! It dances, it races, high on its heroine's energy and anything-but-wry humor. Its characters don't tolerate stoic suffering for long, but are busily changing their lives. I find their enthusiastic optimism infectious: it brings the reader's own adolescence to mind, when life seemed to change unpredictably every few weeks--and Klass's prose reminds me irresistably of a high school marching band, full of percussive rattling, oom-pah tuba notes, and bright trumpets. Sit back, have fun, enjoy the adrenaline rush.
