Matasha

Matasha - Pamela Erens

Matasha


"Beautifully renders the slow-motion alchemy of growing up; mesmerizing and memorable."
--KIRKUS (starred review) "Matasha evokes a time and a place and a childhood with startling honesty and clarity, honoring the intelligence of a curious younger reader and the sophistication of an older reader alike. I'll follow Pamela Erens anywhere, and am not surprised that this is where she's led me: to a brilliant, hilarious, sharp-edged novel for everyone."--REBECCA MAKKAI, author of The Great Believers "Authentic, witty, and painful, Matasha is a delightful middle grade debut, crammed with delicious period details. Matasha, an only child, must navigate awkward friendships, growth-hormone treatments, and parents who always bewilder and disappoint. A 1970s coming-of-age story that rings true of then--and now."--MARINA BUDHOS, author, The Long Ride and Watched "Matasha's brave and original heroine reminds me of Harriet the Spy and Blubber, her perspective captivating and inimitable. It's a joy to watch Matasha grow up, making meaning of everything. This novel has tremendous sweep and scope, with all the joys, sorrows, and revelations of a real girlhood."--RACHEL DEWOSKIN, author of Big Girl Small, Blind, and Someday We Will Fly "The narrator of Matasha may be small for her age but she is years ahead of her peers in how she faces a growing series of challenges. Matasha has to deal with the casual cruelty of her classmates, her growing alienation from her longtime best friend, her increasing awareness of her mother's dissatisfaction, and her own health issues, handling them all with a thoughtfulness that feels realistic (especially when interrupted by the occasional spectacular temper tantrum). Readers of all ages will enjoy seeing 1970s Chicago from her vantage point." --MICHELLE FALKOFF, author of Playlist for the Dead and How to Pack for the End of the World "Tender, funny, and endlessly surprising, Matasha perfectly captures the confusion of being an eleven year old girl and trying to solve all of life's mysteries, big and small. This wonderful book--and the wonderful girl at its center--will stay with me for a very long time."--ROBIN WASSERMAN, author, Girls on Fire, The Book of Blood and Shadow and Hacking Harvard It's 1970's Chicago. Eleven-year-old Matasha Wax is in the sixth grade and just starting to feel the pressures of growing up. Her best friend Jean has been blowing her off, while her parents are in a standoff over her mother's desire to adopt a
