About this eBook
David Grossman's classic novels See Under: Love and The Book of Intimate Grammar, earned him international acclaim as an author of childhood. The Zig Zag Kid, written in a more optimistic vein, recounts thirteen-year-old Nonny Feuerberg's picturesque journey into adulthood.
As Nonny's Bar Mitzvah year trip turns into an amazing adventure, he not only finds himself befriending a notorious criminal, and a great actress, but confronts the great mystery of his own identity.
With wit and humor, The Zig Zag Kid is a novel that explores the most fundamental questions of good and evil and speaks directly to both adults and teenagers.

Just saw the movie at SF Jewish Film Festival. If movies don't do books justice then this story must be wonderful. I am just starting to read it.
