The best book I have read since "Daniel's Story". I am a Male teenager and even this brought tears to my eyes. I bottled it up of course. But a fantastic book, so real.
Greatest book I have read yet
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
this book is without a doubt my favorite bok since "my side of the mountain". the suspence was amazing after the first 50 pages. it tells all about the late 60's like the vietnam war and the hippies and all. geraldine the main charecter was caught in the middle with her brother that is going to war and his best friend who protests the war in D.C. I found this book very exiteing and sad. It did not leave me wondering like most books and i strongly recomend reading this book.

Tear jerker
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book is a definate tear jerker, for both guys and girls. The main character, Geraldine, is put in many situations throughout the book. When her brother leaves for Vietnam and his best friend disagrees with his choice, she can't do anything but watch their friendship slowly fade away. Or does it? Many emotions are expressed in this touching story. I recomend this story for all ages.
A very touching book

This book, is one of the very few books that actually caused me to cry. The story is so moving, and Geraldine is a very convincing character. I rate this book really well. I read it years ago at my junior high library, and have been searching for it since. I reccomend this book to anyone.
