This book was originally published in 1980, so there should be copies falling from the sky. I read it in the 80's and enjoyed it - looking forward to seeing if it holds up!
It's also a 2006 movie! Looks like you can't stream it for free and the library doesn't have a copy. Let me know if you find a way to watch it!
See you there!
