From Goodreads.com:

This slight, unpretentious diary from 1964 captures the exuberance of teens determined to see the Beatles in concert, devastated by rumors that "Paul" had married ("There's still George and Ringo, but I'd rather have John or Paul") and dreaming of running away to London. Conger, who as a 14-year-old traveled from Iowa to Chicago for a Beatles performance, records her epiphanies with infectious glee. Before the concert, she orders a "Beatle Burger" at a shop near the auditorium and saves the check: "The lady . . . wrote 'Biddle Burger!' She didn't even know who the Beatles were! Spare me!" At the performance: "When THEY finally started singing . . . you couldn't even hear them. Not at all. It was a solid scream." A pen pal thrills her by sending a lock of George Harrison's hair, obtained from still another pen pal whose father was barber to George and Ringo. Interwoven are reveries about boys at school and general musings: "I wonder what 1965 will bring. Another Beatles concert? A war? Another president assassinated?".
