Debbie is wishing something would happen. Something good. To
her. Soon. In the meantime, Debbie loses a necklace and finds a
necklace (and boy does the necklace have a story to tell), she goes
jeans shopping with her mother (an accomplishment in diplomacy),
she learns to drive shift in a truck (illegally), she saves a life
(directly connected to being able to drive, thus proving
something), she takes a bus ride to another town (in order to
understand what it feels like to be from "elsewhere"), she meets a
boy (who truly is from "elsewhere"), but mostly she hangs out with
her friends: Patty, Hector, Lenny, and Phil. Their paths cross.
Their stories crisscross. And in Lynne Rae Perkins's remarkable
book, a girl and her wish grow up. Illustrated throughout with
black-and-white pictures, comics, and photographs by the
author.
