When her best friend since the third grade starts acting as though Debbie doesn't exist, Debbie finds out the hard way that life can be a lonesome place. But in the end, the heroine of this wryly funny coming-of-age story -- a girl who lives in a house covered with stuff that is supposed to look like bricks but is just a fake brick pattern -- discovers that even the hourly tragedies of elementary school can have silver linings. And a house covered with Insul-Brick can protect a real home.

About the Author

Lynee Rae Perkins grew up in a small town near Pittsburgh and studied art at Penn State University and the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee.  Eventually she moved to Boston where, against all odds, she met a fellow from Michigan whose ideas about life were as impractical as her own.  They fell in love, drove to Michigan and moved into a cabin on a hillside, which has since grown larger and more houselike.  They have two small children who like to ski, and a cat who is not very smart.
