Description:A moving coming-of-age story in the tradition of A Separate Peace, Prep, and Skippy Dies.Seven-year-old Kat Knopman worships her parents, temperamental Anechka and soft-hearted, absent-minded Misha.

Confined to a brace, surrounded by unsympathetic peers, Kat embarks on a quest to prove that she can be as exceptional as her parents: a beauty, an intellect, and a free spirit despite her physical limitations, her Jewishness, and her suspicion that her beloved parents are in fact flawed.
