Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Anna Bloom is depressed—so depressed that her parents have committed her to a mental hospital with a bunch of other messed-up teens. Here, she meets a roommate with a secret (and a plastic baby), a doctor who focuses way too much on her weight, and a cute, shy boy who just might like her. But wait! Being trapped in a loony bin isn’t supposed to be about making friends, losing weight, and having a crush, is it? In her fiction debut, Julie Halpern finds humor in the unlikeliest of places, and presents a character whose voice—and heart—will resonate with all of us who have ever felt just a little bit crazy.
Julie Halpern is a middle-school librarian in suburban Chicago. She is the author of the children’s book Toby and the Snowflakes. Her likes include road trips, board games, and cake. Her dislikes include traffic, insomnia, and meanies. Julie lives with her husband, illustrator Matthew Cordell, and their squeezably soft Siamese cat, Tobin. Get Well Soon is Julie’s first novel, and is based on her own depressing experiences during high school. But she’s fine now. Really. Visit Julie Halpern’s Web site and blog at www.juliehalpern.com.
Synopsis:A teen fiction debut that's a little bit Bridget Jones, a little bit Girl, Interrupted—a funny (yes, funny) novel that takes place in a mental hospital. Synopsis:Who said depression has to be depressing? Synopsis:I got a better look at some of my fellow patients in this freak hole, and they all look pretty close to my age. They come up to the check-in desk to get pills. After they take them, the desk people look in their mouths to make sure theyve swallowed. Its like something out of The Twilight Zone. Are they going to do that to me? Anna Bloom is depressed—so depressed that her parents have committed her to a mental hospital with a bunch of other messed-up teens.
