Devil on My Back by Monica Hughes

3.0

Really interesting story behind this one... I originally read it when I was about 12 years old, sitting in the library, and it made such an impression on me that I remembered it all these years, but couldn't remember the title or the author. Finally, this year, I wrote to the library where I had read it as a kid, described it, and asked if they could help. Sure enough, they knew the book, and I finally had a title! I immediately ordered it on Amazon, and after 23 years, finally got to read it again. I was amazed how accurate my memory of it was! I also realized that this book had a lot to do with subconsciously shaping my views on nature, our modern way of life, survivalism, and not becoming too dependent on technology. It is a kid's book, but has a really good message...
