The Zigzag Kid

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* is written in a more optimistic vein, and 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.
