Synopsis

Finally Abby is thirteen. A real teenager who only wants to pierce her ears, have a boyfriend, and run her own life. But when her mother suffers a nervous breakdown, Abby faces a life far different from what she hoped. Set in the Bay Area in the '70s, this emotional, funny, and extraordinarily heartfelt novel centres around a young girl's struggle to hold her family together, find love from a mother who has little to give, and simply try to be thirteen. A completely fresh and honest character, Abby takes us on a journey that is often hilarious, sometimes heart-breaking, and overwhelmingly hopeful. An Egg On Three Sticks is a unique story that will catch you by surprise and won't let go until the very last page. Jackie Moyer Fischer is the most original voice to debut in years.

Media Reviews
In a risky but successful style, Fischer... illustrat[es] Abby's lack of breathing space as she strains to hold herself together and move from one moment to the next.
- Kirkus Reviews
The author does a fine job of capturing Abby's point of view, from adolescent angst to denial then anger at her mother's-and family's-condition and finally all-out rebellion. And she does it in an interesting way.
