from my older brother's bookshelf and couldn't put it down. I did a book report on it in 7th grade. I'm 70 now and can still remember and recommend it. It kind of shaped my geekiness. Having lived, worked and raised a family in the Bay area, I felt I was in Isherwood's neighborhood all the while. Great story, a good primer for young readers and a fine story in general. It does seem appropriate for today.
