Dan Mauer really captures the fun of a past most of us will remember with great fondness. A time when children were free to be children. When our neighborhoods were safe enough for us to explore on their own without any helicopter mom hovering close by. The authors descriptions of the 70s era is on point from the plastic bands with war to protect our shoes, to the race to get in our yards before the streetlights came on. There was nothing we liked more than getting the day to ourselves away from teachers, books and parents. Although this work of fiction reads like a child's nightmare. It only goes to show how really nave we were back then. If you like unsettling stories, this is a great book for you. Guaranteed to keep you turning the pages and to send a chill up your spine.
