No words can describe how hilariously fun this book was. It was absolutely ridiculous but I enjoyed it.
I really miss the 80’s!

A young adult fiction where it's the mid-1980's in the high desert area of California with 13-year-old main character Callie Anderson. It was stepping-back-in-time to hear Callie's Dad tell her "that computer is for all of us to use, but the diskettes are as personal as someone's mail". This review is written by a senior citizen who found this book in storage, badly damaged. I decided to read it before discarding.

Well, it was very interesting to read this book — I don't know if the generation that was reading at the time was that... ahn... innocent, you know? Because it seems that, if you think about today, every thirteen-year-old girl wouldn't think about any of the problems the way the characters did. What I want to do is read more books from this generation, to see if maybe it was just an author's point of view that was very distant from reality, or if we're simply very corrupted today.

I read this book as a teenager and loved it. I still love this book and a nice easy quick read!
