Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Ragswars
Alice Bach · 1987
48/100
👎 Skip It
The premise — kids declaring digital war via bulletin board systems — was probably a fun hook in 1987, but four decades of technological change have rendered the specifics nearly unintelligible to modern readers. With minimal critical documentation and out-of-print status, there is not enough evidence to recommend this over the dozens of better-documented contemporary tech-for-kids stories available today.
