Young Adult | Fiction
From the start of Elizabeth McKenzie�s beguiling fiction
debut, we are drawn into the offbeat worldview of
sharp-eyed, intrepid Ann Ransom. Stop That Girl chronicles
Ann�s colorful coming-of-age travails, from her childhood in
a disjointed family through her tender adolescence and
beyond. Along the way, she discovers the absurdities that
lurk around every corner of a young woman�s life, by way of
oafish neighbors, overzealous boyfriends, prurient vegetable
salesmen, sour landlords, and an iconoclast grandmother,
known even to her family as Dr. Frost. Keenly funny and
highly original, Stop That Girl is a brilliant examination
of the exigencies of love and the fragile fabric of family,
and heralds the emergence of a remarkable new voice in fiction.
