Which of these boys will turn out to be the one she's always wanted to meet? And how will she cope when it's time to say goodbye? Rather, she's caught the interest of Hartley, a school newspaper reporter, as well as Phil, the unattainable boy everyone wants, who shares her biology lab table. As for Shelley's personal life, there are no more boring dates with Jack. They hang laundry by moonlight, their doorbell operates with an old-fashioned crank, and each of their bathroom towels bears the name of a different school team. They also have unconventional ways of doing things. For one thing, they have two kids - fifteen-year-old Luke, who is into science fiction and spends all his free time trying to get an old motorcycle running, and thirteen-year-old Katie, who's going through a difficult stage where she argues with everyone and nothing is fair. When Mavis Michie, Shelley's mother's college roommate, extends an invitation for Shelley to live with the Michies in San Sebastian, California, for her Junior year, Shelley decides that will be just the thing to cure her boredom.Īnd life with the Michies is definitely interesting. Shelley wants a yellow rain slicker, for example, but her mother insists upon buying her a pink raincoat with fur trim. And her mother just doesn't understand a thing. She's been going steady with Jack too long - although he's nice, she finds him tedious. Shelley Latham is sixteen years old, and bored with her life.
