Novella / Short Story | Historical
In 1988 Riley Travis is a young graduate student at Cornell
University. A letter from her past takes her back to
Brooklyn in 1976, the year of the American Bicentennial,
when she was an imaginative, stage-struck twelve-year-old
going on thirteen. A time when there were no computers, cell
phones or malls and everyone shopped on Main Street, where
she goes to find her Street of Dreams. There she makes a new
friend, an out-of-work newspaper reporter who has a big
influence on her life. We meet her family, friends and
teachers and see life through her eyes, part-child
part-teenager, as America is much too busy celebrating its
200th birthday to pay much attention to what is happening to
her. Her dealings with the adult world that she lives in and
her observations on what she sees turn everything that
happens into an adventure in growing up.
