It's 1962 and Franny has a lot to worry about: her uncle's crazy behavior, her sister's secret letters, her best friend not being her best friend anymore. But on top of all that, it's the Cuban missle crisis and the whole US is worried about an atomic bomb falling.
Not only is Franny's story told, but interspersed throughout the book are pictures, song lyrics, speeches, and short biographies about key historical figures of the time. Which was a lot of fun to read through.
I liked this book and mostly it was because I really liked Franny. She grew a lot during the novel and learned how to stand up for herself. EL (5-6) MS - ADVISABLE. Rebekah, Youth Services Librarian
