by Michelle Tea (Author), MacAdam Cage (Author)

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 stores of her hometown.

After being hired and abruptly fired from the most popular clothing shop at the local mall, Trisha befriends a chain-smoking misfit named Rose, and her life shifts into manic overdrive. A "postmillennial, class-adjusted My So-Called Life" (Publishers Weekly), Rose of No Man's Land is brim­ming with snarky observations and soulful musings on contemporary teenage America.

Rose of No Man s Land is both a riotously funny coming-of-age story and a poignant cautionary tale that smacks of there but for the grace of God heartbreak . . . Tea manages to balance Trisha s snarky edge with moments of a sweetly sad, naive vulnerability that beautifully capture those mercurial midteen years. The Boston Globe
