"There is a smile on almost every page and a chuckle or two in every chapter. Author Brian Adams uses humor and no holds barred detail to tell us about a year in the lives of Cyndie and Ashley, two mid-teen best buddies. Pre-occupation with issues of changing bodies and emerging sexuality becomes intertwined with a strong sense of place and a protective love of their mountain. This book reminds us that kids can make a difference. If there was a KABOOM in West Virginia I would proudly wear their tee shirt. This is a funny, fully detailed story. All ages will enjoy it." -- Wayne C. Spiggle, M.D. , Allegheny Highlands Alliance, "Most YAs are sassy and irreverent in tone, and often funny. This one is too, except it's funnier." -Mary Wildfire, OVEC Activist, "There is a smile on almost every page and a chuckle or two in every chapter.

I wish we could clone the main character (Cyndie) and put at least one of her in every high school throughout Central Appalachia. Of course, she'd need her friends along to accomplish what she and they did in other places. That's what it takes to save the places we love-a community coming together with local leaders who aren't afraid to stand up for what's right, no matter what. Warning teens: some of your parents and teachers may find this book offensive, for sexual content and for lots and lots of other reasons. Read it anyway!" -Robin Blakeman, Ohio Valley Environmental Alliance, "Most YAs are sassy and irreverent in tone, and often funny.
