In this "artfully crafted" (Publishers Weekly") companion to the
bestselling The Misfits" and Totally Joe," Addie Carle confronts
labels, loss, and what it means to grow up.
The Gang of Five is back in this third story from Paintbrush Falls.
Addie Carle, the only girl in the group of friends is outspoken,
opinionated, and sometimes...just a bit obnoxious.
But as seventh grade progresses, Addie's not so sure anymore about
who she is. It seems her tough exterior is just a little too tough
and that doesn't help her deal with the turmoil she feels on the
inside as she faces the pains of growing up.
Told in elegant, accessible verse, ADDIE ON THE INSIDE gives
readers a look at a strong, smart, and sensitive girl struggling
with the box society wants to put her in. Addie confronts
experiences many readers will relate to: the loss of a beloved pet,
first heartbreak, teasing...but also, friendship, love, and a
growing confidence in one's self.
