Publisher Description
Verbena Colter knows she's bad news.
Trouble from the get-go. How could she not be, with parents like hers? Her mother practically pickled her before she was even born, leaving Verbie to struggle with the effects of fetal alcohol syndrome. And her father was just plain mean. Verbie wishes she could be somebody, anybody other than who she is. Enter Pooch, a flatlander boy visiting for the summer. When Pooch and his mom rent the house next door, Verbie takes the opportunity to be someone else entirely. And what starts out as a game leads Verbie into a surprising and heartwarming journey of self-discovery.
Another gem from the author of So B. It.

Awesome Book For Pre-Teens and Teens
There is a great use of imagery in this story. It makes you really feel like you know Verbie and what she is like. I borrowed this book from my school library and I'm really glad that I did because I was very satisfied with it and I highly recommend it to 12-16 year olds. It might even be appealing to people of older or younger ages, it just depends on your personality and style in books.
