From award-winning author Sarah Ellis comes the story of an American draft dodger who turns up to stay with thirteen-year-old Charlotte and her family.
In 1970 Vancouver, thirteen-year-old Charlotte and her best friend, Dawn, are keen to avoid the pitfalls of adolescence. Couldnt they just skip teenhood altogether, along with its annoying behaviorsshowing off just because you have a boyfriend, obsessing about marriage and a ring and matching dining-room furniture? Couldnt one just learn about life from Jane Austen and spend the days eating breakfast at noon, watching People in Conflict, and thrift-store shopping for cool castoffs to tie-dye for the upcoming outdoor hippie music festival?
But life becomes more complicated when the girls meet a Texan draft dodger who comes to live with Charlottes Quaker family. Tom Ed expands Charlottes horizons as they discuss everything from war to civil disobedience to womens liberation. Grappling with exhilarating and disturbing new ideas, faced with a censorship challenge to her beloved English teacher and trying to decode the charismatic draft dodger himself, Charlotte finds it harder and harder to stick to her unteen philosophy, and to see eye to eye with Dawn.
