An enjoyable and resonating tale of creativity

Catho Darlington: Lessons Learned In The Space Age by Sara Marie Hogg (an original and genuinely talented author) is an archetypal and entertaining novel of a quirky, imaginative young girl growing up in the Ozarks Mountains in the 1950's. Revealing an isolated community rich with tradition, and narrating the trials and tribulations of adolescence in a heartwarming style, Catho Darlington is an enjoyable and resonating tale of creativity, perseverence, and fun.

Quirky Young Girl is Irrepressable

Catho Darlington knows only one world--the tiny town she is growing up in in the Ozarks Mountains. I like the "local color"
of this book. I like the imagery provided by the author and
how she gets inside the head of the young girl to find the
voice of the book. Although there is a lot of narrative, it
really had to be written that way. I am familiar with the author's work and her first work was in poetry and some of it
slips into the novel. I believe the flavor of the 1950's is

captured genuinely. The study sheet for baby boomers in the
back of the book is a wonderful thought-provoker and memory
enhancer. I can see a sequel as Catho continues her quirky
adventures throughout her teenage years. Neato-keeno!

The Rockin' Fifties--Revisited

Before writing this review, I read all of the others. It has pretty well all been said. Wonderful, innocent time in the US, quirky little girl, isolated community, town characters, mischief, madness, giggles, tears, a common chord with all who lived through those years at that age. More, more, more. We need more of Catho Darlington, Space Age hillbilly girl from the Ozarks Mountains: rockin' and rollin,' guffawing, hula hooping, marching in parades, tooting her flute, taking swings at bullies, riding in souped up cars with fins, suffering the consequences of permanent waves. So square it is hip!
