Jessica Anya Blau, author of The Summer of Naked Swim Parties, delivers another darkly hilarious, heartbreaking coming-of-age novel with Wonder Bread Summer.
In The Wonder Bread Summer, loosely based on Alice in Wonderland, 20-year-old Allie Dodgson has adventures that rival those Alice had down the rabbit hole. Or those of Weeds Nancy Botwin.
Allison is working at a dress shop to help pay for college. The dress shop turns out to be a front for drug dealers. And Allison ends up on the runwith a Wonder Bread bag full of cocaine.
With a hit man after her, Allison wants the help of her parents. But theres a problem: Her mom took off when Allison was eight; her dad moves so often Allison that doesnt even have his phone number.
Set in 1980s California, The Wonder Bread Summer is a wickedly funny and fresh caper thats sure to please fans of Christopher Moore, Carl Hiaasen, and Marcy Dermansky.
