Good, catchy writing. Fantastic story idea. Lots of references to cool music from latter part of the 20th century, which is a big plus. Story hard to follow at times, but works once you "get it." Some very touching moments.

I'd give this a 3 1/2 stars if I could. The story of two sisters, aged 9 and 10 and their adventures in the summer of 1959. The book portrays some of the innocence and carefreeness of the 50's but there is a darkness to the story and a pretty good mystery. I enjoyed hearing the story through 10 year old Sally O'Malley's voice and look forward to the second book this Fall. I could easily see this as a movie!
