So in the 80s, or possibly early 90s, this was the book girl tweens read. I’ve probably read it 10 times or more back in the day. Was a great book fully written with non stereotypical characters? 10 year old me would say yes. Would adult me feel the same…. Probably not. I kind of want to go back and reread, but will at the same time, this book holds a special place in my heart and I not sure I want that to be ruined…
