Description

Newbery medalist Jerry Spinelli has penned his early autobiography with the entire warmth, humor, and drama of his best-selling fiction.

“A master of those embarrassing, gloppy, painful, and wonderful things that happen on the razor’s edge between childhood and full-fledged adolescence” (The Washington Post), 

From first memories through high school, including first kiss, first punch, first commute to the principal’s place of work, and first humiliating sports experience, this isn’t merely an account of a highly odd childhood. Quite, like Spinelli’s fiction, its appeal lies in the  accessibility and universality of his life. Entertaining and fast-paced, it is a highly readable memoir– a should-have for Spinelli fans of every age.
