07.18: e. E. Charlton-Trujillo
2013-06-13 22:35:34| Powells Books Events Calendar
Her sister was captured in Iraq, she's the resident laughingstock at school, and her therapist tells her to count instead of eat. Can a daring new girl in her life really change anything? Angie is broken — by her can't-be-bothered mother, by her high-school tormenters, and by being the only one who thinks her varsity-athlete-turned-war-hero sister is still alive. Hiding under a mountain of junk food hasn't kept the pain away. Having failed to kill herself — in front of a gym full of kids — she's back at high school just trying to make it through each day. That is, until the arrival of KC Romance, the kind of girl who doesn't exist in Dryfalls, Ohio. With an offbeat sensibility, mean girls to rival a horror classic, and characters both outrageous and touching, e. E. Charlton-Trujillo's Fat Angie (Candlewick Press) is a darkly comic anti-romantic romance. This event is sponsored by Q Center.
