We are with Chelsea as an eleven-year-old atheist, trying to will an alien visitation to her neighborhood; fighting with her stepfather and grappling with a Tourette's diagnosis as she becomes a teenager; falling under the sway of frenemies and crushes in high school; going into debt to afford what might be a meaningless education at an expensive art college; navigating the messy process of falling in love with a close friend; and struggling for independence from her emotionally manipulative father and from the family and friends in the dead-end California town that has defined her upbringing. This is a book about relationships, class, art, sex, money, and family--and about growing up weird, and poor, in the late 1990s and early 2000s. 941 $a 4 952 $l CGPC482 $d 20220526011615.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20181116062549.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006111646.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20171229010446.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EEFBE76AEC6511E7844D286C97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
