All Alone in the Universe - Lynne Rae Perkins

Descriere All Alone in the Universe - Lynne Rae Perkins

Debbie and Maureen have been best friends since third grade. Then Glenna comes along, and somehow Debbie feels as if she's been set adrift--all alone in the universe. How Debbie gradually comes to terms with the loss of an important friendship is at the heart of this award-winning first novel. \nBefore 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.' \nWhen 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.\n
