She's only twelve years old, but a \"hard twelve.\" You'll meet her friends: Stumptown Jim (her weatherbeaten BFFL); Tin Cap Earl (who's always down to shoot a junkyard haul video); Toothpick Frank (who learns to love Pinterest); Salt Chunk Annie (a \"woman of the night,\" whatever that means); and Hot Johnny Two-Cakes (who Tween Hobo swears she does NOT have a crush on). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFind out how she survives, thanks in part to strawberry lip gloss. You'll hear her take on major cultural events (\"I go off a fiscal cliff every time I go near a Claire's\"). And you'll enjoy beautiful hand-rendered illustrations that bring out the beauty in her words--just like how eyeliner makes a hobo's look really pop. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOften snarky and frequently ridiculous, this imaginative journal-like book includes maps, jokes, laughs, doodles, tips, hobo symbols (\"House with a triangle on top means PIZZA PARTY!!!), games, stories, and more.
