Six Pounds, Eight Ounces in Bloomington, MN

Hannah King is a liar, so everyone says. That means her stories of growing up in the Rhondda, must be treated with caution. Debut novelist Rhian Elizabeth opens Hannah’s notebook up on her own little world of crazy friends and crazy family, and a crazy school with crazy teachers who aren’t always what they seem. From dolls and sherbet lemons, to a bright student who drops out of school in favor of drinking, drugs, and glam rock on an estate that feels like another planet, Hannah, it seems, has always been trouble.
