Apartment 1986 Audiobook Summary
Bestselling middle grade author Lisa Papademetriou is back with a playful, poignant story that will resonate with anyone who’s ever had to learn that love means accepting people–even yourself–for who they really are.
Callie never meant to let it go this far. Sure, she may have accidentally-on-purpose skipped a day at her fancy New York City prep school, but she never thought she’d skip the day after that! And the one after that . . . and . . . uh . . . the one after that.
But when everything in your real life is going wrong (fighting parents! bullied little brother! girls at school who just. don’t. get. it!) skipping school starts to look like a valid mental-health strategy. And when Callie runs into Cassius, a mysterious and prickly “unschooled” kid doing research at museums all across the city, it seems only natural for her to join him. Because museums are educational, which means they’re as good as going to class. Right?
Besides, school can wait. What can’t wait is the mystery of why her grandmother seems to wish she could travel back in time to 1986, or what she wants so much to relive there. As Cassius helps Callie see the world in a whole new light, she realizes that the people she loves are far from perfect–and that some family secrets shouldn’t be secret at all.

For a middle grade book, this one deals with some incredibly relevant issues. The book touches upon themes of racism, homophobia, bullying and disability in a way that its target audience can relate to them. These are things that touch the lives of children at a younger and younger age all the time, and books like this are vital in today's society. Besides that, it tells a highly entertaining story. I was really impressed and will definitely be looking for more from this author.

A beautiful and moving story about what it means to find your own way in this complicated world. Callie realizes that positive mantras like "live without regrets" may not mean much after all - it's better to live with and embrace those regrets. She's learning how to lead life her way and newfound friend Cassius offers valuable insight on what it means to have a true friend. This book offers plenty of laugh-out-loud moments but underneath it all, the raw and real emotions deeply expressed by Callie are sure to capture your heart.

I just loved this girl's voice! Wonderful family story of Callie, who has just moved to NYC and is a fancy new school, and having a tough time with friends, as is her adorable younger brother. Plus there's a warm and charming grandmother in an Upper West Side apt. Not to mention her cool friend Cassius. Good for 4-6 grade readers.

Just the kind of book for a weekend binge. A very well written Humour-Drama Novel. Callie will forever remain as one of my favorite fictional character. Lisa, I think you just earned a fan here. :D

I often choose my reading material based on blogs, reviews, and other information I get from fellow writers and readers. But this one I simply picked up off the shelf at my library. It is a fantastic middle grade read, and the voice of Callie, the protagonist, is priceless! Loved this book.

I really enjoy the writing style of Lisa Papademetriou. She has a lightness in her writing that offsets the realism in her stories. Easy read, can't wait for the next book.
