![]() ![]() George (Blume’s husband) got me an old machine, a microfiche machine. Are those real stories?ĭuring the four months that I did only research before I started writing, I printed out and collected all the newspaper stories. ![]() Throughout the book, a series of excerpts from newspaper stories, many of which are written by Miri’s uncle Henry Ammerman. Maybe it was because we were all terrified, but we needed to come up with explanations, and the boys were into outer space and the communists and the aliens. I wanted them to be as old as they could be, but I needed somebody at that junior high school because I needed somebody to report about the boys. Miri, one of my protagonists, is in ninth grade. I don’t mean for the book to be a downer, and I guess you have to get through it to see that indeed life does go on, and one can find happiness and love and move on after something like this. ![]()
