Description: "Written with humor as well as reflection, Aggie's breezy, first-person account of her experiences makes engaging reading." --Booklist "[Aggie's] takes on Ludwig, her family, home, and what it means to be a teenager are fresh, funny, and self-aware." --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "[Agell] creates in Aggie a wry observer whose narration is punctuated by the Zen sayings of her totem, a clay Chinese fisherman names Old Henry, and augmented by her sketches to make an altogether fresh and pleasing package." --Kirkus Reviews "This novel has strong and winning characters; excellent pacing; and a lazy, nostalgic setting." --School Library Journal "Small town America never looks as good as when Agell (as Aggie) writes about it." --Kliatt
