Jahn-Clough, Lisa

Me, Penelope

200 pp. | Houghton/Lorraine | April, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-618-77366-4 $16.00
(2) YA Sixteen-year-old Penelope is depressed, lonely, and still guilty over an accident that killed her little brother ten years before. Her fixation on love and sex as cure-alls leads to unhealthy crushes and failed relationships. The plot centers on her determination to graduate early and her relationship with her irresponsible mother. Jahn-Clough's prose is artfully stilted but infused with startling flashes of beauty.
