Description

Pearl dresses as a boy to survive on the streets, where she seeks and finds her long-lost mother. Starr brings more than is usual to the job of baby-sitting. Two boys, Mick and Greg, risk stealing animals from pet stores in order to save the souls of those who would cage them. Noel writes an hilarious farewell letter (because her family's moving away) to the people who've sustained them all during her childhood-the gang at Big Hair and Nail Design Trough.
