Engrossing, lovely story about communicating and making connections through writing, as told by a young girl who enjoys the eccentricity of those around her.

Beautifully written with lots of practical writing advice. Inspiring for writers young and old. The book seems semi-autobiographical to me.

Gina doesn’t fit in, probably because she has an excellent imagination.

In Gina’s neighborhood, a boy who sees strange things and is always smiling moves in next door.
A new English teacher, a new neighbor and too much pasta
