(2) YA When eleven-year-old Barbie, a child model, is molested by a photographer, her mother tells her "life is full of problems." In the second part of the book, sixteen-year-old Barbie meets Griffin, another model assaulted by the same photographer. Throughout, a petulant fairy named Mab serves as Barbie's surrogate mother, sister, and friend in Block's intoxicating mix of realism and fantasy.
