Please help me find the name of a children’s book.
I’m trying to remember the name of a book my 2nd grade teacher read to the class in the 1980’s.
It was about a boy who traveled to a future where everyone was required to carry a “pocket puter” (short for pocket computer.)
The main character was almost immediately arrested upon arrival in the future for not having a pocket puter to identify himself when stopped by police.
The other thing I remember was that a friend of the main character enjoyed fishing. However people either weren’t allowed to catch real fish or fish had gone extinct. I don’t remember which. He would take a rowboat out and dangle his line in the water to “catch” a tag that told him how big his “fish” was.
It’s not much to go on but if anyone knows the name of this book I would greatly appreciate the answer.
