By Stella Cooper Mitchell
Being a teenage girl in the early 1960s could be a lot of fun. It could also have its complications, but the heroines of this story manage to scrape through without permanent damage. Sadie and her friends are a tight knit group always looking for a chance to have a little fun even though they may end up in the police station, either as victims or perps.
This is a very lighthearted book, a nostalgic look back at American life in the 1960s before kids learned to "tune in, turn on and drop out." Before the days of war protest, draft card burnings, riots, the Beatles, Watergate, Vietnam and on and on. Maybe such a time never really existed, but still it was a fun trip to a sweeter, gentler time and place. I enjoyed it.
