Agnes: I'm Far Too Young To Look This Hot
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Somewhere between here and anywhere, in a trailer park called "The People's Court," lives a bespectacled, floppy footed girl named Agnes. Her age falls exactly between the wide-eyed times when fairy tales are embraced as truth and the darker, later years when cynicism starts to take its toll. The other players in this small sideshow are Granma, a hardworking, underpaid Golden Ager who worries that she may be a little too old for the challenge of raising a granddaughter, and Trout, Agnes's best friend. Trout was named after one of her father's biggest passions and, according to her, she was only three numbers from being christened Powerball. Trout tries to temper Agnes's stigmatism of hope with her own doctrine of realism. Together they weather the major tribulations that only childhood can make so monumental. Trout aspires to pilot a soft-serve ice cream machine so all the kids will laugh and yell "Hey, Ice Cream Lady!" Agnes merely wants to be crowned lord queen of the unknown universe. They will probably end up on different bowling leagues.
About the Author
Tony Cochran's painting career was financially enhanced by his work as an auto-body repairman for 15 years. He's been drawing for as long as he can remember, even on the undersides of car fenders when artistic inspiration could not wait for the evening studio. Then, several years ago, Agnes spoke to him from his sketchbook. Now his strip, Agnes, appears in papers across the country, including the San Francisco Examiner, the Chicago Tribune, and the New York Daily News. Tony lives in Columbus, Ohio, with his wife, Vickie.
