Addie on the Inside Hardcover - 2011

by James Howe

Summary

In this artfully crafted (Publishers Weekly) companion to the bestselling The Misfits and Totally Joe, Addie Carle confronts labels, loss, and what it means to grow up.

The Gang of Five is back in this third story from Paintbrush Falls. Addie Carle, the only girl in the group of friends is outspoken, opinionated, and sometimesjust a bit obnoxious.
But as seventh grade progresses, Addies not so sure anymore about who she is. It seems her tough exterior is just a little too tough, and that doesnt help her deal with the turmoil she feels on the inside as she faces the pains of growing up.
Told in elegant, accessible verse, Addie on the Inside is a thought-provoking look at a strong, smart, and sensitive girl struggling with the box society wants to put her in. Addie confronts experiences we can relate to: the loss of a beloved pet, first heartbreak, teasingbut also, friendship, love, and a growing confidence in ones self.

Excerpt


You Are Who They Say You Are

They say in the seventh grade
you are who they say you are,
but how can that be true?

How can I be a
Godzilla-girl
lezzie loser
know-it-all
big mouth
beanpole
string bean
freaky tall
fall-down
spaz attack
brainiac
maniac
hopeless nerd
*bad word*
brown-nosing
teachers pet
showing off
just to get
attention
oh,
and did I
mention:
flat-chested
(thats true)
badly dressed
(says you)
social climber
(such a lie)
rabble-rouser
(well, I try)
tree-hugging
tofu-eating
button-wearing
sign-waving
slogan-shouting
protest-marching
troublemaking
hippie-dippy
throwback
to another
time and place?

How can I be all that?
Its too many things to be.
How can I be all that and
still be true to the real me
while everyone is saying:

This
is
who
you
are.

2011 James Howe

Media reviews

Howe completely captures what it is like to be a 13-year-old girlthe ups and downs, the emotional tightrope, the push/pull between childhood and growing up, and the power of gossip and school cliques. Addie negotiates the corridors of middle school with thoughtful determination; shes a young woman with a lot to say. Add this fine novel to the growing list of novels in verse.

--School Library Journal, August 2011, *STAR
