ISBN: 0889952639 ISBN-13: 9780889952638 Publisher: Red Deer Press OUR PRICE: $6.26 Product Type: Paperback Published: May 2003 Annotation: Janice (who really wants to be known as "Greer") is a little over weight and more than a little bossy when it comes to struggling to be heard at O.P. Doberman School in Hope Springs. Her self-confidence isn't helped by the fact that her parents are separated. She spends half her life living with her dad in a trailer at the edge of town, where she occasionally spots a skunk that doesn't hesitate to spray if there's any sudden noise in the trailer. Janice would love her parents to get back together and thinks she can engineer it just in time for her birthday. But, of course, that proves harder than she realizes. "A cast of dynamic, memorable characters, plenty of humor (a Staunton trademark) and well-paced plots with believable school-age conflicts and satisfying endings. . . . Highly recommended." "Staunton's strength is that he uses humor to engage the reader while exploring problems that loom large on the pre-teen radar." |
