Synopsis
"Before last summer Maureen and I were best friends....At least I think we were. I don't know what happened exactly. As some people who get hit by trucks sometimes say,'I didn't see anything coming.'"
When her best friend since the third grade starts acting as though Debbie doesn't exist, Debbie finds out the hard way that life can be a lonesome place. But in the end the heroine of this wryly funny coming-of-age story--a girl who lives in a house covered with stuff that is supposed to look like bricks but is just a fake brick pattern--discovers that even the hourly tragedies of junior high school can have silver linings, just as a house covered with Insul-Brick can protect a real home. This first novel shines--fun, engrossing, bittersweet, and wonderfully unpredictable.01-02 Young Hoosier Book Award Masterlist (Gr 6-8)

Review
"An exceptional first novel. You feel at heart that this is a story of an artist being born."-- "The Horn Book""A poignant story written with sensitivity and tenderness."-- "School Library Journal"Debbie's first-person narrative is sharp, funny, uneasy, spiteful, fragile."-- "ALA Booklist"
About the Author
Lynee Rae Perkins grew up in a small town near Pittsburgh and studied art at Penn State University and the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee. Eventually she moved to Boston where, against all odds, she met a fellow from Michigan whose ideas about life were as impractical as her own. They fell in love, drove to Michigan and moved into a cabin on a hillside, which has since grown larger and more houselike. They have two small children who like to ski, and a cat who is not very smart.
