Then Glenna comes along, and somehow Debbie feels as if she's been set adrift--all alone in the universe. How Debbie gradually comes to terms with the loss of an important friendship is at the heart of this award-winning first novel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore last summer Maureen and I were best friends....At least I think we were. I don't know what happened exactly. As some people who get hit by trucks sometimes say, 'I didn't see anything coming.' \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen her best friend since the third grade starts acting as though Debbie doesn't exist, Debbie finds out the hard way that life can be a lonesome place. But in the end the heroine of this wryly funny coming-of-age story--a girl who lives in a house covered with stuff that is supposed to look like bricks but is just a fake brick pattern--discovers that even the hourly tragedies of junior high school can have silver linings, just as a house covered with Insul-Brick can protect a real home. This first novel shines--fun, engrossing, bittersweet, and wonderfully unpredictable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51444775321823,"sku":"9780380733026","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/KtJ95MocxC9780380733026.webp?v=1790207760","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/all-alone-in-the-universe-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
