Product Description

Review
"In a risky but successful style, Fischer... illustrat[es] Abby's lack of breathing space as she strains to hold herself together and move from one moment to the next."
- "Kirkus Reviews"
"The author does a fine job of capturing Abby's point of view, from adolescent angst to denial then anger at her mother's-and family's-condition and finally all-out rebellion. And she does it in an interesting way."
- "Children's Literature"


Product Description
Finally Abby is thirteen. A real teenager who only wants to pierce her ears, have a boyfriend, and run her own life. But when her mother suffers a nervous breakdown, Abby faces a life far different from what she hoped. Set in the Bay Area in the '70s, this emotional, funny, and extraordinarily heartfelt novel centres around a young girl's struggle to hold her family together, find love from a mother who has little to give, and simply try to be thirteen. A completely fresh and honest character, Abby takes us on a journey that is often hilarious, sometimes heart-breaking, and overwhelmingly hopeful. An Egg On Three Sticks is a unique story that will catch you by surprise and won't let go until the very last page. Jackie Moyer Fischer is the most original voice to debut in years.
