Description
Patience is for people without worlds to conquer. I’m practically a teen, and I have ZERO patience.
"This novel has the potential to be to a modern audience what [Judy] Blume's works were to girls of the 70s and 80s, and its blunt honesty and relevant topics make it the preferable choice." ~ AvidEye
Dear Diary,
Do you know what makes a kiss French? Or what to do when you catch your jerkface brother smoking? How do you keep your cool when the cutest boy in the history of cute boys asks you out, but your parents say you're too young to date? And what if it's the only thing they agree on these days? Well, I know all this stuff and more, Diaryfriend, and I couldn't have learned it at a crazier time.
Lisa's acting distant, Heather's getting meaner; even the neighborhood cat lady is driving her demon bus more than usual. With all the drama and breakups, flashlight tag and show choir auditions, maybe it's best if I pack up my tutus, strap on my roller skates, and get out of Shiloh Farms.
Or maybe I'll just try to survive the sixth grade.
Thanks Diaryfriend,
Darla Decker
A frank and funny look at the path to adulthood, Darla Decker Hates to Wait begins a journey of love, loss, and the nitty-gritty of growing up through Darla Decker’s eyes.
"In Darla, McHugh has created a character that is dynamic and interesting and while I don't pretend in any way to really know the mindset of a young, pre-teen girl, I read the prose and I feel like I am hearing the voice of a child. Not the perfected cartoonized version of a child, not as simple fodder for the story, but as a genuine, three dimensional, real child. It brought me back to a lot of the young adult books I would read in grade school, living along with the day-to-day exploits of the protagonist as she deals with the dramas of her life and underneath everything, the ultimate and slow transition into adulthood." ~ C. Clark, Author
