1961 --- when the world was a nicer place....or so it seemed. The plot follows the lives of five girls - Dee Ann, Mary Ellen, Myra, Kate, and Julie through the last few weeks of their final year in grade school as the realization that their new teenage lives are about to take them their separate ways. Friendship, difficult family issues, heartbreaking confessions, boys, separation, young love...any of the rites of passage a soon-to-be teenager faces can be found here. These are five v-e-r-y different girls, yet the ties of friendship and love always seal the gaps. The question that remains is: Why can't love and friendship seal these same gaps when we grow up? ...And just what do we really lose when we lose our childhood?

Judith Kristen (1948 - ) Judith was born in Atlantic City, New Jersey and raised in Northeast Philadelphia. Life was not always easy, and, after some very rough starts and stops, Judy became a best-selling author, animal rescuer, international humane education teacher, and a very happily married woman. 'The Purple Hat Gang' received the tri-state book Award, a Philadelphia Librarian's Award, a "Huggins Hero" Award from NBC, and it is being looked at for a 'book to screen' movie - either for television, or even a much bigger screen. Ms. Kristen's, 'My Name is Henley...my life and times as a rescued dog' and 'The Rainbow Bridge...a dog's story' have been embraced by Best Friends Animal Society, The Jane Goodall Institute, and children everywhere. All of Judith's books will find a way into your heart - and then stay there for a long, long time after the book has been lovingly placed back up on the shelf. Judith finally lives her very own happily-ever-after with darling husband, Andrew, and four totally adorable cats: Mookie, Lucky, Miss Holly, and Ned.
