Reviews
"Masterfully wrought...downright hilarious and often hold-your-breath-and-hope-for-the-best suspenseful. The restraint with which Beard deploys moments of tension and humor make each page glimmer."-- Samuel Reaves Slaton , O Magazine, "Jo Ann Beard has written a mesmerizing account of a time in a girl's life when every moment, every action, is laden with enormous importance. It is so beautifully written, so perfect in its pitch, that I couldn't put it down."-- Ann Patchett , author of Run, "Full of charm and wisdom and laugh-out-loud humor, In Zanesville will have readers recalling their own years of wonder and want and fear and doubt. I loved literally every character, every scene."-- Elizabeth Berg , author of Once Upon a Time, There Was You, "A fresh comic voice and a talent for sharp familiarizing place-details." -- Sam Sacks , Wall Street Journal, " In Zanesville is told by a narrator attuned to the humor and tragedy around her, battling it with her own desperate logics. This novel is an amazing demonstration of friendship, the most necessary and slippery thing we can possess."-- Peter Rock , author of My Abandonment, Masterfully wrought...downright hilarious and often hold-your-breath-and-hope-for-the-best suspenseful. The restraint with which Beard deploys moments of tension and humor make each page glimmer., A fierce, funny, brave, and bracingly honest new novel....Every bit as poignant and powerful as The Catcher in the Rye ., "An exuberant first novel....Beard has a knack for melding the funny and the sad, amplifying small moments into something big."-- Sussannah Meadows , New York Times, "A fresh comic voice and a talent for sharp familiarizing place-details."-- Sam Sacks , Wall Street Journal, PRAISE FOR IN ZANESVILLE: "A fierce, funny, brave, and bracingly honest new novel....Every bit as poignant and powerful as The Catcher in the Rye ."-- Julia Keller , Chicago Tribune, "A smashing coming-of-age story.... Beard is a faultless chronicler of the young and hopeful; readers couldn't ask for a better guide for a trip through the wilds of adolescence."-- Publishers Weekly, "A fierce, funny, brave, and bracingly honest new novel....Every bit as poignant and powerful as The Catcher in the Rye ."-- Julia Keller , Chicago Tribune, "Epic and profound. These thoughtful, funny, awestruck, slightly peculiar girls are so endearing, so painfully true."-- Karen Valby , Entertainment Weekly, "Masterfully wrought...this novel is at times downright hilarious and often hold-your-breath-and-hope-for-the-best suspenseful. The restraint with which Beard deploys moments of tension and humor makes each page glimmer."-- Samuel Reaves Slaton , O Magazine, "Beard is a writer of immense talents. In Zanesville is far more than a coming-of-age novel. Our offbeat narrator is spellbinding in her bold vivacity and honesty, an unforgettable character quickly embraced and beloved at the center of our lives."-- Howard Norman , author of What Is Left the Daughter, An exuberant first novel....Beard has a knack for melding the funny and the sad, amplifying small moments into something big., "Beard has beautifully captured how a shy but observant girl might interpret the awkwardness and the struggle for acceptance in the high school's perplexing social milieu.... Resonates as a bittersweet remembrance."-- Kirkus, "Beard has a sharp eye, a wry wit, and a warm heart, and in her new book, she has captured perfectly not only a particular era in American life, but an evanescent moment in one beautifully evoked life. I loved this book."-- James Hynes , author of Next, Epic and profound. These thoughtful, funny, awestruck, slightly peculiar girls are so endearing, so painfully true., "Moving.... Beard travels the well-worn road of budding young womanhood with surprising freshness."-- Courtney Jones , Booklist, "A fresh comic voice and a talent for sharp familiarizingplace-details."-- Sam Sacks , Wall Street Journal

Synopsis
The fourteen-year-old narrator of IN ZANESVILLE is a late bloomer. She flies under the radar-a sidekick, a marching band dropout, a disastrous babysitter, the kind of girl whose Eureka moment is the discovery that "fudge" can't be said with an English accent. Luckily, she has a best friend with whom she shares the everyday adventures of a 1970s American girlhood, incidents through which a world is revealed, and character is forged. In time, their friendship is tested--by their families' claims on them, by a clique of popular girls who stumble upon them, and by the first, startling, subversive intimations of womanhood. With dry wit and piercing observation, Jo Ann Beard shows us that in the seemingly quiet streets of America's innumerable Zanesvilles is a world of wonders, and that within the souls of the overlooked often burns something radiant., From the acclaimed author of The Boys of My Youth and Festival Days , a "mesmerizing... beautifully written" debut novel that evokes the wrenching, exquisite moment just before we step into adulthood (Ann Patchett). The fourteen-year-old narrator of In Zanesville is a late bloomer. She flies under the radar -- a sidekick, a marching-band dropout, a disastrous babysitter. Luckily, she has a best friend with whom she shares the everyday adventures of a 1970s American girlhood, incidents through which a world is revealed and character is forged. In time, the two girls' friendship is tested -- by their families' claims on them, by a clique of popular girls who stumble upon them, and by their first startling, subversive intimations of womanhood. With dry wit and piercing observation, Jo Ann Beard shows us that in the seemingly quiet streets of America's innumerable Zanesvilles is a universe of wonders, and that within the souls of the awkward and the overlooked often burns something radiant. "Probably my favorite novel of the year...A marvelous reading experience...I don't think I'll ever forget the unnamed, perfectly realized narrator of In Zanesville ." --Nancy Pearl, NPR
