Three days after "Urban High" opened its doors in the fall, Lyn Tornabene--33-year-old journalist/housewife--entered its dark halls for the first time. She was disguised as a Junior transfer student from New York. In reality, she was a sympathetic "spy" from the adult world who wanted to find out what teenagers were really like; who felt that none of the numerous interviewers, reporters and sociologists studying them were getting straight answers. Her plan was to *be* a teenager, to see their world and live their life from the inside.

A startling account, a fascinating adventure, and a touching reappraisal, on second visit, of the state of being young.
