I read this for Banned Book Week not knowing what to expect and whoa man did I love love love it. It's like Catcher in the Rye only with a girl and less self-obsessed (go figure). It's been challenged because the kids in it drink and smoke and hate school and have awful parents and swear (although the swearing is mostly like "@#$%"). Read it many years ago and liked it although not nearly as much as My Darling, My hamburger. It is still a great book though, just really REALLY depressing. Still Paul Zindel wrote in such a magnificent way and got into his characters heads so magnificently that I have to give credit w here credit's due. Even if this was not one of my favorites, it is a superb book. This novel was first published in the 1960s and it was considered controversial because it was about youth and teens misbehaving and taking advantage of others. The story ends tragically when the main character dies, and he has been taken advantage of by the teens he had befriended. It was one of the first Young Adult Literature novels to portray the youth of the time in a more realistic manner and not in a positive way.

I had never read this book myself but chose it for my student on the recommendation of a colleague who teaches middle school Language Arts.
It made both of us laugh out loud because of the colloquial writing and societal observations made.
Unfortunately, although I loved it, my student only gave it 2 out of 4 stars. He felt the story was outdated. ( )
