Why read it?
1 author picked Stop That Girl as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Original and funny, Stop That Girl chronicles the coming-of-age of Ann Ransom, an offbeat heroine navigating her equally unconventional family life and upbringing. I loved discovering this character and equally loved the novel-in-stories structure of the book. Fast-paced and quirky, this book illuminated a manner of storytelling that I thought fit the coming-of-age genre really well.
From Heather's list on featuring quirky, funny female protagonists.
