Dinky Hocker Shoots Smack!

Dinky Hocker Shoots Smack!

M. E. Kerrâ€™s first novelâ€”hailed by the New York Times as a â€œtimely, compelling,â€ and â€œbrilliantly funnyâ€ look at adolescence and friendship

It was bad enough that they had to move to Brooklynâ€”Brooklyn Heights, as Tucker Woolfâ€™s dad instructs him to tell everyone after he loses his job. Now his father has suddenly developed an allergy to Tuckerâ€™s cat, Nader, a nine-month-old calico Tucker found underneath a Chevrolet. Tuckerâ€™s beloved pet finds a new home with overweight, outrageous Susan â€œDinkyâ€ Hocker, the only person to answer Tuckerâ€™s ad.

As Tucker starts paying regular visits to Dinkyâ€™s house to check up on Nader, his life begins to change. Dinky introduces Tucker to her strange cousin, Natalia Line, a compulsive rhymer whom Tucker finds fascinating. And enter P. John Knight, whoâ€™s fat like Dinky . . . and now, like Nader. With this odd cast of characters, a little world is created for big kids who need to go on diets. And who also, all of them, need to find out who they are.

A story of friendship, self-image, and surviving adolescence, Dinky Hocker Shoots Smack! is also about the terrorâ€”and exhilarationâ€”of daring to be yourself. Â

This ebook features an illustrated personal history of M. E. Kerr including rare images from the authorâ€™s collection.
