That's right, don't look in her eyes - just keep carrying her on your back for all of eternity to avoid her demonic gaze. Frankly, I don't know what this book could possibly be about. It has one of the most awkwardly composed covers I've ever seen. The toddler's arms seem freakishly long. And is it a boy giving the piggyback ride or a girl with a sassy Dorothy Hamill do? And what could possibly be in the brown paper bag? Answers, people! Clumsy as the drawing is, I find myself intrigued, so onward to the description... ...."Jason was twelve when his psychotic mother abandoned him and his 15-month old brother Chad."
But of course - what's a YA novel without a psychotic mother?

because, back in those days, reading enough issues of McCall's and Redbook would drive anyone mad!
