Book Synopsis:It's 1964 and ten-year-old Felix is sure of a few things: the birds and the bees are puzzling, television is magical, and this is one Christmas he'll never forget.
From the Funicello family's bus-station lunch counter to the elementary school playground (with an uproarious stop at the Pillsbury Bake-Off), Wishin' and Hopin' is a vivid slice of 1960s life, a wise and witty holiday tale that celebrates where we've been-and how far we've come.
My Review
This book was just funny for me. As I was reading it, I could just imagine a 10 year old little boy in catholic school just trying to be cool like his friends. It is a short book and pretty quick read. There is a lot of language, mostly the F-word, and some innuendo's, although they are not explained in detail, it is very easy to figure out what they are talking about. Although I liked the book, I wouldn't recommend it to my mom because I know she would put it down quickly because of the language, which I totally understand. If that would not bother you, go for it. It is cute and fun and won't take that long to read.
Enjoy.......
