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. She’s
only twelve years old, but a “hard twelve.” You’ll meet her
friends: Stumptown Jim (a hero who tried his best to
homeschool her on the road); Tin Cap Earl (who’s always up
for shooting a “Call Me Maybe” parody video in a graveyard);
Toothpick Frank (who loves Pinterest); Salt Chunk Annie (a
“woman of the night,” 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. You’ll hear her take on major cultural events
(“I go off a fiscal cliff every time I go near a
Claire’s.”). And you’ll enjoy beautiful hand-rendered
illustrations that bring out the beauty in her words—just
like how eyeliner makes a hobo’s look really pop. Often snarky and frequently ridiculous, this imaginative
journal-like book includes maps, jokes, laughs, doodles,
tips, hobo symbols (“House 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
let’s roll!
