A Girl Named Zippy by Haven Kimmel
A Girl Named Zippy is a wonderful memoir about a quirky girl growing up in a small, Midwestern town. This book is incredibly funny, with a wonderful cast of characters including a beloved pet chicken, multitudes of animals, bizarre neighbors and her wonderful oddball family. Fans of Jenny Lawson's Lets Pretend This Never Happened and Ruth Reichel's Tender at the bone will be delighted by A Girl Named Zippy.
