| Suburbia, 1967. Spring is in bloom! The birds are singing, flowers are popping up, and Susan Bradley is lost in the clouds. There's nothing groovy about Susan's world; parents, friends, and her fifth grade teacher are a drag. Why is Susan out of her head?Because, she's got a dreamy new boyfriend! And he's not the boy next door... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| He's Mike Nesmith, of Susan's favorite TV group, The Monkees, and he's everything Susan wants him to be: funny, playful, charming, and sweet. But let's face it, rock stars don't date gawky 11-year-olds. Instead, Susan imagines a teenaged version of herself with long, red "Breck Girl" hair, a Twiggy figure, and stylish mod clothes. Together, Teen Susan and Mike romp through the park, ride carousels, and eat ice-cream cones. Mike is always a perfect gentleman, and he loves Susan more than anyone else in the world. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Susan's teacher, Miss Greenbaugh, thinks Susan daydreams too much. She wants to put a stop to Susan's errant behavior and get her back on the academic track. So unhip! Susan's parents decide she needs a break from The Monkees to catch up on her schoolwork. Without her daily dose of her favorite group, Susan has little to fuel her fantasies. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Ultimately, it isn't Miss Greenbaugh that bursts Susan's romantic bubble, but a very informative issue of "Teen Life" magazine that reveals the truth about Susan's new love... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
