Description: "Thelma is not yet six years old at the outset of this freshly imagined, adroitly narrated tale, and already the world shows no promise of accommodating itself to her desires. Still, Thelma tries by asking practically every adult she meets to adopt her. Not that she has been orphaned. But her parents fall dysfunctionally short of anybody's ideal."--Jacket.
