The Peter Pan Bag
I liked the fact that in the book Wendy had to find herself. Time and rules didn't exist in Oriana's apartment and she had to learn to let go of past rules.
What I didn't like about the book was that Wendy went back home and that Donald went to the hospital. I wish they could all go to the farm with Oriana.
Loved it as a teen fascinated with the counter culture. As an adult it reads more like a cautionary tale. My romanticized idea of communal living is no longer but this was a book from the past worth revisiting.
Wasn't bad. Good flow w/ the writing. MC isn't so likable, but still is pretty spot-on for a kid her age, so I suppose that's more or less as it should be. It was more or less real w/o getting rapey, although that was discussed as possible given the circumstances. Also, the 1st time she smokes pot it's beyond dumb b/c what they describe is not pot. I kept waiting for it to be revealed that the stuff had been laced, but no. We're supposed to believe that something more similar to acid was pot,Loved it as a teen fascinated with the counter culture. As an adult it reads more like a cautionary tale.

I read this book almost 40 years ago... and a question has nagged me for some time now, which I have asked in a question elsewhere... were there lyrics to a song in this book?Does anyone remember a song with this line in it:"I've got a secret, a little green secret"It was a drug reference song about weed, a friend of mine, Deby Smith, used to sing. It may have been an original, but I think it came from a paperback novel called The Peter Pan Bag, but I haven't seen that book since, either. The
I loved these cautionary YA tales when I was a kid. Good characterization, and not too preachy.
Fantastic read about youths taking up residence in a Boston apartment, living the hippie lifestyle. Young Wendy escapes from her boring life in Rhode Island and meets a group of people who become her friends. She smokes pot and raps with her housemates about various topics. In the meantime she falls for young Donald, a street dude, while trying to decide what she wants to do with her life. I loved it. I felt I was back in 1968.

He takes her to Boston where she lives with Oriana, Rolf, Jez and Peter. They are a bunch of hippies. Wendy has to learn to find herself and live life free. I liked the fact that in
