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 for. Set in the Bay Area in the '70s, An Egg on Three Sticks is Jackie Moyer Fischer's emotional, funny, and extraordinarily heartfelt novel about Abby's struggle to hold her family together, find love from a mother who has little to give, and simply try to be thirteen.With a voice completely fresh and honest, Abby takes us on a journey that is often hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking, and overwhelmingly hopeful. But a journey no thirteen-year-old should have to take.

"I had this book in early high school…talking bout something! ❤️ I need to order it again "
Shena Frazier
"I’m honestly not sure how to review this. I feel a bit taken aback at how deeply tragic this story is, given the relatively light description on the back. Suffice it to say, without many spoilers, that this book deals with depression and some very heavy life events. It is in no way a happy book. The teenage protagonist’s voice is very strong and distinctive. I kept reading mostly because I wanted to know the resolution - it made sense as an ending, but didn’t make the story any easier. <br/><br/>Three stars because I think it was fairly well written but I just...didn’t really enjoy it?"
