But there's no way Cyd can survive in her parents' pristine house. Lucky for Cyd she's got Gingerbread, her childhood rag doll and confidante, and her new surfer boyfriend. When Cyd's rebelliousness gets out of hand, her parents ship her off to New York City to spend the summer with "Frank real-dad," her biological father. Trading in her parents for New York City grunge and getting to know her bio-dad and step-sibs is what Cyd has been waiting for her whole life. But summer in the city is not what Cyd expects -- and she's far from the daughter or sister that anyone could have imagined.媒体推荐TwistMagazineWhy You'll Dig it: Likeable Cyd will seem like one of your buds.
ELLEGIRLRachel Cohn's first book, Gingerbread, takes the reader on a journey through the mind of Cyd Charisse, a troubled teenager who's trying to find herself. But this is not just Another Teen Novel: It's pretty edgy...
Children's Writer's and Illustrator's MarketCohn's character was inspired by the front of a greeting card given to her by a close friend. "The figure on the card was wearing monster-sized black boots and toting a doll," says Cohn. "She was nothing like other characters I created, but I became a vehicle for who she was instantly."
Kirkus ReviewsCyd Charisse embodies the child/woman nature of adolescence as she tows her doll, Gingerbread, through life.
VOYANewcomer Cohn's Cyd-isms -- "sexy-swish hips" and "New Yorkie York" -- bring to mind the funky vocabulary of Francesca Lia Block's hip heroine, Weetzie Bat....All high school and public libraries should add the irrepressible Cyd to their shelves.
Publishers Weekly[Cyd's] magnetic narrative will keep readers hooked.
School Library JournalFunny and irreverent reading with teen appeal that's right on target.
