(1) YA Almost-fourteen-year-old Plum both craves and fears her imminent passage into adulthood. As the school year starts, the threads of her life--her scheming social circle, her rapt friendship with married neighbor Maureen, her approaching birthday party--converge in disaster. Hartnett's dense, sensory prose captures the misery roiling beneath the surface of Plum's awkward, average existence in this tender, brutal novel.
