BOYS ON THE BRAIN

Cresta enjoys life with her girlfriend, Charlie, as they read Russian classics, share romantic sagas they each are writing, and have movie nights and sleep-overs. However, things gradually change when they meet two neat guys. Finty Williams introduces the girls and their families with great charm. An interesting and unusual twist shows how kids and parents sometimes reverse roles, with Williams doing justice to all ages. Listeners are cleverly projected four years into the future, revealing how things turned out and demonstrating how the girls evolved as they grew older. An excellent coming-of-age story for both girls and boys. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/NOV 05]
