Overview

Brimming with snarky observations and soulful musings on contemporary teenage America, this is Michelle Tea's thrilling coming-of-age tale about a lonely girl lost in the wild kingdom of mall culture. Fourteen-year-old Trisha Driscoll is a gender-blurring, self-described loner whose family expects nothing of her. While her mother lies on the couch in a hypochondriac haze and her sister aspires to be on The Real World, Trisha struggles to find her own place among the neon signs, theme restaurants, and cookie-cutter chain stories of her hometown. After being hired and abruptly fired from Ohmigod! -- the most popular clothing shop at the Square One Mall -- Trisha befriends a chain-smoking misfit named Rose and her life shifts into manic over-drive. Told through Trisha's voice -- both cynical and naive -- Rose of No Man's Land is at once a whirlwind exploration of drop-outs, tattoos, and drugs, and the heart-pounding love story of two atypical girls.

Reviews

Rose of No Man's Land [is an] example of new books of revolutionary teen fiction worth reading.... It's not hard to imagine [Tea's] established readership will be just as inclined to pick up Rose of No Man's Land as the 14-year-old contemporaries of the book's narrator. -- Broken Pencil <br> [Tea's] writing has real energy, a delightful slangy verve. Rose of No Man's Land may have the requisite pink on the cover, but it is certainly more lit than chick. -- The Globe and Mail <br> Compellingly honest and told with a voice so pure that it would be ignominious to overlook it. . . . A sincere achievement. <br>-- San Francisco Chronicle <br> Impossible to put down. . . . Trisha is a raucous observer of everything from mall culture minutiae to her sister's reality TV dreams. Nothing gets by her. <br>-- People Magazine
