Official synopsis Publisher
Banished to her room for hitting her brother, Patty Jane plots the rest of her life—which might just involve never leaving her room again. ‘The deadpan humor of the authors is perfectly suited to Roz Chast’s wonderfully waggish illustrations. Not only do her pictures faithfully mirror the antics of the story, they also expand on the jokes, adding hilarious details and prankish asides.’ —NYT. ‘[A] standout.…Chast gets the tone just right: childlike but heartfelt.’—SLJ.
