"First edition" statement to the copyright page.

Illustrated with school tests, homework, and political and event flyers.

Wojciechowska, most famous for her Newbery Award-winning novel of a young boy destined to be a bullfighter, SHADOW OF A BULL, features here, a thirteen to fourteen-year-old girl, who believes she is living the 'rotten years', but is learning about issues, what she does and doesn't like about adult choices, her own difficult life choices, deciding taking drugs is no good, living the average cranky life of a young teen in 1970, and unknowingly building courage, knowledge, dignity and self-respect.

Wojciechowska's introduction mentions several 1970 issues.
