Francine Pascal at her best
23 Mar 2003
Format:Hardcover
These are NOT the generic romances that are the Sweet Valley High series.
"Hangin' out with Cici" has been republished, under the title, "My Mother Was Never a Kid". The two subsequent books in the series featuring Vicky, "My First Love and Other Disasters" and "Love and Betrayal and Hold the Mayo" have also been republished. All are available and I highly recommend them to people so they can experience a very different, fun, and refreshing writing style of Francine Pascal.
This is a three-book series that I read years ago. To their benefit, they DO NOT follow the romance boilerplates of the Sweet Valley High series. The main character, Vicky, who is an absolute hoot to be around, travels to a different time, and gets to meet some new people her age. She has a smart mouth that gets her into some trouble and into some interesting situations. By the end of the story, she has gained a deeper understanding and insight into the adults around her.

1 part realism + 1 part fantasy = ONE GREAT READ FOR ANYONE
28 Jun 2001
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book is aimed at teens, but I say it's for everyone. (I still have my copy, tucked amid the more "grown-up" fare) Vicky's mom is giving her grief -- and then she gets blamed for something she didn't do! Bummer! Then, she enters this time warp, goes back to the 40s, and makes a friend who turns out to be her mom as a teen!!! EXCELLENT!! By thetime she gets back to her own time, she learns about her mom and about herself! This book is recomened to all mom's with daughters -- and everyone who is or has ever been a daughter. Imaginative, humorous, and moving, this book deserves 6 stars and it's a shame that it's out of print!!
Back to the 1940s
2 Jun 2012
Format:Paperback
First off: I'm an adult man. But I love this "girl's book" and I have since first reading it WAY back in the 1980s. I came to learn of this story via the After School Specials: Class of '81-'82 movie version "My Mother Was Never a Kid." Growing up, I had always wondered what it would be like to travel back in time and meet my own mother when she was a teenager, and to see firsthand all the things she did to get herself in trouble. This book shows us that we are more like our parents than we might want to believe -- but it's okay because when we're growing up, we all make mistakes. Hopefully, we will remember this if/when we have our own children. I'm proud to say that "Cici" served as the inspiration for my own novel Lost in the '90s which tells the story of a teenage boy from 2012 who travels back in time to April 1994, on the eve of Kurt Cobain's suicide, where he meets his teenage parents and helps them fall in love. Thank you, Francine Pascal!
