Practically Seventeen

By: Rosamond du Jardin

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Tobey Heydon is "practically seventeen" and thinks she is old enough to make her own decisions. Whether it's saving her sister Alicia from last minute wedding disasters to keeping her sister Janet informed on her little boy's well-being to hiding her diary from her little sister Midge, Tobey handles it all with Brose by her side. They survive the arrival of a beautiful blonde at the lake but will they survive Tobey's mysterious date for the Heart Hop?

a teen fave from the past

it is a great teen novel, like an old friend from the past met with again

Virtual voice needs some work

Several mispronounced words, and natural spoken human cadence was missing in many instances.
However, the story is a charming tale of teenage life approximately 1950’s or 1960’s. I enjoyed it very much despite the unintended chuckles I got from virtual voice goofs.

Classic mid-century teen book!

This is the first book I have read by this author, but it won’t be the last – so enjoyable!
