5 stars
It's pretty shocking to me that this book was written in the 1980s. It feels very relevant now. We see how society in California changes over several years through the eyes of a child. Society hasn't fallen apart but it's well on its way. Extreme drought, poverty and potent drugs have destroyed life as it is known. I won't say you'll have a fun time reading this book, but it'll have your gripped and will stay with you long after you have read it
