{"product_id":"finn-matthew-olshan-9781890862145","title":"Finn","description":"\u003cp\u003eImagine a modern-day retelling of Mark Twain's classic \u003ci\u003eThe Adventures of Huckleberry Finn\u003c\/i\u003e, with a teenage girl and a very pregnant young Mexican as the main characters. That's the gist of Matthew Olshan's brilliant literary debut, \u003ci\u003eFinn: A Novel\u003c\/i\u003e. The book's narrator is Chloe Wilder, a quiet girl, part tomboy, part survivor. Rescued from a murderous life with her mother, Chloe lives with her grandparents in the cocoon of a quiet, middle-class neighborhood. For the first time in her life, things are steady, safe--and stifling. Enter Silvia Morales, the grandparents' maid. Silvia is an illegal immigrant, but that's not her only secret: She's also pregnant, a transgression that gets her kicked out of the house. Not long after, Chloe is torn from her quiet life too, and forced to live on the run. While \u003ci\u003eFinn\u003c\/i\u003e is about Chloe and Silvia's comic mishaps--and their brushes with real danger--on the road, it's also a dark portrait of modern America, where smug suburbanites live minutes away from the wilderness of inner cities, and once-mighty rivers meander under superhighways. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew Olshan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1890862142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781890862145\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bancroft Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e59207 \/ Finn: A Novel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2001 pg. 1471\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2001 pg. 146","brand":"Matthew Olshan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48623329640703,"sku":"9781890862145","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/finn-matthew-olshan-9781890862145","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
