Hardcover. NY, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1st, 1985, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket with minor edgewear. When 15-year-old Angeleno Shanny Adler comes to spend the summer on aged Aunt Adabelle's ranch in the boondocks of Idaho, she brings along a purple punk hair-do, a drum set, a collection of esoteric trivia and a standard YA protagonist's pressing need to "find herself." By the end of the book she has found not only herself (and turned out to be a Pretty, Talented, Caring and Generally Worthwhile Person) but also the love of talented, caring "superhunk" Thor. She also drives the local theatrical enterprise from failure to smashing success, inspires old Adabelle not to give up her ranch, resuscitates a newborn kitten and generally turns everything she touches to gold. Clean copy.
