[LM_NET] BOOK: Tune in anytime by Cooney

[Frederick Muller <mullinator52@YAHOO.COM>]

Cooney, Caroline B. Tune in anytime.Laurel-Leaf, 2001 [0-440-22798-4]
  Sophie's life is like a soap opera.  Her mother is strange.. likes fad things 
like pyramids and haunted stones (her father calls the mother a pyramidiot.) The 
father can't take it any more and falls in love with a new woman.  Unfortunately is 
Sophie's sister's room mate at college.  Now her father is divorcing her mother for 
another woman who is only a couple years older than she.  Then of course, Sophie 
falls in love with a boy whose family owns the gravel pit where her mother's latest 
craze (circle of stones) resides.  So much is happening in this 186 page book, it 
does feel like a soap opera where the reader can "Tune in anytime."  It is a fun 
book but very different than Cooney's usual books.
