A delightful and wholly unsentimental view of the world from the eyes of a nine-year-old American girl. The author gained notoriety in his previous books, Vox and The Fermata, for his detailed examination of unsavoury sexuality, but here all is innocence, wonder and fun. Nory spends a year in an English town, noting the behaviour of her parents and little brother, putting the world to rights with her classmates and wondering when her teeth will fall out. An exuberant, spellbinding book. (Kirkus UK)
