Now Everybody Really Hates Me

Now Everybody Really Hates Me Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Good-bye Cruel World!

Patty Jane Pepper is being unjustly punished. Her parents claim that she punched her brother Theodore. In fact, she only touched him--hard. And she didn't call him a dumbbell, either. She just called him a dumb head. Nonetheless, she's been sent to her room.

So Patty Jane decides to punish her parents back. She'll stay in her room--forever. She'll stay up really, really, really late (so that when she goes to bed it will be the next day), speak in a code that only she understands, and never, ever eat again. Unless, of course, there's something good for dinner...

Review:

"Sure to be appreciated."(-- School Library Journal)

Synopsis:

Banished to her room for hitting her brother, Patty Jane plots the rest of her life— which might just involve never leaving her room again. ‘ The deadpan humor of the authors is perfectly suited to Roz Chast’ s wonderfully waggish illustrations. Not only do her pictures faithfully mirror the antics of the story, they also expand on the jokes, adding hilarious details and prankish asides.’ — NYT. ‘ A standout.… Chast gets the tone just right: childlike but heartfelt.’ — SLJ.
