Review:
My Mother Was Never A Kid
by Francine Pascal
My Mother Was Never A Kid is a funny, honest story told by Victoria Martin, a thirteen year old girl living in New York City in the 1970s. Victoria is thirteen and always in trouble. Victoria has is a bratty little sister that constantly gets her in trouble and a mother that she doesn't think was ever a kid. Veronica gets in trouble when she visits her cousin for a weekend and gets caught with illegal drugs. She just happened to be holding them when her aunt walked out. On the dreaded train ride home to her angry mother, she is somehow transported back in time. She meets her own mother, at her age, and is intially unable to recognize her. Later, she realizes that her mother was indeed a kid and she is able to contrast and compare their similarities and differences and get in some more trouble. I think that this book is a good read, especially since it totally relates to a lot of people. Francine Pascal's present time writing style contributes to the actual-time essence that brings out the reality of it all. Victoria's experience going back to the twenties was rather far-fetched, but it adds up to the thrill it gave me reading this book. This book strikes a chord with most every teenage, because who hasn't felt at one time or another that their parents just can't relate to them? This book helps to give another perspective and show that yes, our parents once were kids themselves who lived, loved and got in trouble just like we did. It's a must read for any teenager and also I think this book is great for all ages, even above thirteen. Once you start, you can't stop!
