But when Lucy arrives this year, she's changed. The former girl next door now has chopped dyed black hair, a nose stud, and a scowl. But Evan knows that somewhere beneath the Goth, Old Lucy still exists, and he's determined to find her... even if it means pissing her off. <br>Can opposites attract? Or does growing up mean having to grow apart? <p/>Told from two perspectives, this funny and honest novel by Stephen Emond (<i>Happyface</i>) is a unique combination of text, comic strips, and art.
