Young Adult
A hilarious and irreverent illustrated book based on the popular Twitter feed (@tweenhobo), featuring a young spunky girl who packs up her glitter pens and sneaks out of math class one Monday afternoon to traverse the railroads in search of freedom, adventure, and her own personal obsession: Justin Bieber tickets. Get ready to laugh and learn with the littlest hobo. Sheโs only twelve years old, but a โhard twelve.โ Youโll meet her friends: Stumptown Jim (a hero who tried his best to homeschool her on the road); Tin Cap Earl (whoโs always up for shooting a โCall Me Maybeโ parody video in a graveyard); Toothpick Frank (who loves Pinterest); Salt Chunk Annie (a โwoman of the night,โ whatever that means) and Hot Johnny Two-Cakes (who Tween Hobo swears she does NOT have a crush on). Find out how she survives, thanks in part to the kindness of park rangers. Youโll hear her take on major cultural events (โI go off a fiscal cliff every time I go near a Claireโs.โ). And youโll enjoy beautiful hand-rendered illustrations that bring out the beauty in her wordsโjust like how eyeliner makes a hoboโs look really pop. Often snarky and frequently ridiculous, this imaginative journal-like book includes maps, jokes, laughs, doodles, tips, hobo symbols (โHouse with a triangle on top means PIZZA PARTY!!!), games, stories, and more. So grab your iPhone and wrap it in a handkerchief, tie it to a stick, and letโs roll!
