I Am an artichoke

"Despite the serious subject matter -- anorexia and dysfunctional families -- this accomplished first novel sparkles with deliciously wry humor. . . .In a slangy, deadpan narration spiced with acute observations of characters and scenery, Frank brings a fresh, funny and vibrant new voice to YA literature." --Publisher's Weekly (starred review)
