I think by today’s standards, My Darling, My Hamburger by Paul Zindel falls short. It’s not as good as say, Ellen Hopkins, but I see it’s value. I think it’s an interesting look at teens of the late 1960s/early 1970s. It reveals a bit about the social constructs of adolescence of it’s era.

The book starts off on an incredibly confusing note. You are just sort of tossed into Todd’s world. However, when this happens, […]
