You have got to check out ';Be True to Your School'; by Bob Greene.
Bob Green knew in high school he wanted to be a journalist so he kept a journal for one year as an exercise. He through the journal in a box and later grew up went to college and became a columnist for one of the major papers in Chicago. He found the journal one day and went ahead a published it. It's very poignant and the references to the time period are priceless. He talks about the first time the Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan show and all his teenage worries and angst.Do anyone know any good teenage books that was set in the mid or late 60s or early 70s?
The Seventeenth Summer is really good, I believe it's either set in the late 50's, early 60's. It's a romance, but it's nicely writen.
