Veronica
Walsh is 15, fashion-minded, fat, and friendless. Her summer job in the
Consignment Corner section (Employees Only!) of a vintage clothing
store is a dream come true. There Veronica can spend her days
separating the one-of-a-kind gem garments from the Dollar-a-Pound duds,
without having to deal with people. But when two outrageous yet
charismatic salesgirls befriend her and urge her to spy on and follow
the mysterious and awkward stock boy Veronica has nicknamed the Nail,
Veronica’s summer takes a turn for the weird. Suddenly, what began as a
prank turns into something else entirely. Which means Veronica may have
to come out of hiding and follow something even riskier for the first
time: her heart.
Erica S. Perl is the author of three picture books: Chicken Bedtime Is Really Early, illustrated by George Bates; Ninety-three in My Family, illustrated by Mike Lester; and Chicken Butt! illustrated by Henry Cole. She lives in Washington, D.C., with her husband and two daughters.
