Ambiguous Time Period | |

Ambiguous Time Period: The first portion of the book isn't dated. The other parts include tidbits here and there such as references to the space race or mentioning it's almost the new millenium, but the time Toby lived is ambiguous. It's presumably in the 1950s or 1960s. | |
