From Amazon:

How I Met The Beatles: (And How They Broke My Heart) takes place during the British Invasion in 1964. This coming-of-age novel is a fictitious account of a real issue that today's kids face-idol worship in the entertainment industry. It is meant to appeal both to Christian and secular audiences, and to adults and children in order to precipitate intergenerational discussions. It also contains a multicultural element, as the Casey family form friendships with a Hispanic-American family. The main character, twelve-year-old Priscilla Casey, becomes enamored with The Beatles. She launches a number of plots to meet them. She convinces her parents to open a dude ranch that doubles as a shrine to The Beatles. The Fab Four hear about it and arrive at the ranch for a photo shoot. But Priscilla soon realizes they are not what they appear to be, and her fantasy world crashes around her. Christian author Marion Duckworth describes How I Met The Beatles as: "An exciting, fast moving journey that's spelled 'F-U-N'!"

Comments and Reviews


JPGR&B SUBS 7th May 2022		Review Annotation: This fictitious account of a Beatle-mad fan during the British Invasion of America is intended, according to the author, to encourage an intergenerational discussion about the pitfalls of idol-worship, as relevant today, if not more so, than in 1964. An oddly parallel book to Date With A Beatle (see Kristen, within), with different portrayals of the Beatles' characters - and different results. An indication, perhaps, that as the group enters its second half-century, The Beatles both individually and collectively are more or less available for appropriation for many purposes.
