DESCRIPTION:

Mickey Opie is almost thirteen and almost going crazy. Life hasn’t been the same since her beloved grandmother died and her best friend Sal moved away. Her parents fight, her teacher’s a control freak, her school’s very own Mafia, the Greasy Hand, keep stealing her lunch and she’s cursed with hair that looks as if mice have nested in it. No one at home is interested in hearing Mickey whinge, so she begins to write letters to the living and the dead - to the Minister of Education, to Bill Gates, to J.R.R. Tolkien, to Napoleon, to Gimli the Dwarf, to Freddo the frog (she’s a chocoholic), and most of all to her dead grandmother. Sometimes there are advantages to being a bit crazy - if you have a great imagination. Mickey’s Little Book of Letters offers a novel within a novel - a wild space fantasy as well as a witty and moving story about the uncertainties of early adolescence and the transformative power of grief. It’s a portrait of the artist as a young girl becoming aware of her talents - and having a lot of fun doing so. * Ages 10 - 12.
