Readers of Saffy's Angel and its sequels will happily realize that this is a prequel: a visit to the time when Caddy was twelve, in one of the rare periods when Bill Casson was an on-site dad. McKay addresses friendship troubles, an eating disorder, a first boyfriend, a near-death experience, and a pony, all handled with her characteristic vertiginous point-of-view changes and running jokes.
