The authentic, funny and entertaining voice of an adolescent Jewish girl growing up in the 1950's--a decade that demanded restraint and repression in the aftermath of the Holocaust. Appealing to adults, especially baby boomers, but also to young adult audiences, Atta Girl! asks all the questions, explains all the thoughts, and wonders all the wonder of an adolescent stuck in her world. Her unrestrained words are a breath of fresh air extending back in time and towards the future.
