Synopsis

In her first novel, a famed cartoonist tells the sensitive story of a young girl's coming of age in the 1960s.

"Deft and deceptively simple .

.

.

Ms. Barry has an impeccable ear, and this funny, intricate, and finally heartbreaking story exquisitely captures an American childhood".--The New York Times.

Press Reviews

"Sure to earn the respect and laughter of young audiences. Lynda Barry's debut as a playwright is anything but cartoonish."

— New York Times

"Brilliant...[with] a masterly sense of progression, construction and dramatic form. It hits us in places we had forgotten, and tells things we never knew we knew."

— N.Y. Post
