    <body><![CDATA[A little gem of a book - a unique storyline that is wonderfully crafted and executed.  Miranda's character is this encapsulation of what it is to be 12 years old - going back and forth between this world of childhood and adulthood. I wouldn't really characterize this as a coming-of-age story though... more like a day-in-the-life with a twinge of mystery and sci-fi thrown into the mix.  I really liked the setting in 1979... it was a lot like my childhood, so there was a nostalgic element there...  Loved the little bits of fantasty woven throughout, as well as the musings and the references to late 1970s/early 1980s pop culture - the whole bit with the <em>$20,000 Pyramid</em> was pretty great!  <br/><br/>Very enjoyable book ~ highly recommended.  <br/><br/>NPR's Nancy Pearl just named this one as an &quot;Under the Radar&quot; book - <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=120625236">You can read an excerpt here</a> on NPR's website :)<br/><br/>]]></body>
