My Mother Was Never a Kid
Francine Pascal Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing Division © 1977

Victoria Martin is a normal teenager making mistakes and
wanting her own freedom. Her Mother has a different opinion. She lectures and
punishes Victoria as if she was never a teenager, or experienced any of the
same things Victoria encounters.
I believe this book presented the main idea with truth.
Many teenage girls can relate to most of the topics in the book. I also
believe the story contained a fairly good twist when Victoria finally realized
Cici was in fact, her own mother. The book's general feeling can be compared
to Pascal's Sweet Valley series. Overall, the book was very good.
