{"product_id":"gawky-margot-leitman-9781580054782","title":"Gawky: Tales of an Extra Long Awkward Phase","description":"\u003cp\u003eSome tall girls grow up to have perfect posture and are later seen gracing the pages of magazines. Some are natural athletes with toned legs that mask their overlarge feet. Then there are tall girls: the ones who are always tripping over themselves; who never look normal in any size of clothing; who literally don't fit in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComedian Margot Leitman was one of these awkward giants, and \u003ci\u003eGawky\u003c\/i\u003e is the painfully funny chronicle of her experiences growing up tall. Reaching five feet six inches in fourth grade--and approaching six feet in high school--Leitman realized early on that she'd always stand out from the crowd. To cope, she developed a thick skin and a sharp sense of humor, and instead of forever trying to blend in, she decided to embrace her center-of-attention status. Leitman wears funky, Ziggy Stardust-era jumpsuits (in the 90s); takes up any cause she can find (whether saving the public beaches or protesting prom); and generally makes as much use of her big presence as humanly possible. Leitman's memoir is a hilarious celebration of growing up gangly. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEndearing and encouraging, is a cathartic release of everything awkward girls endure-and a tribute to a youth larger than life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margot Leitman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1580054781\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781580054782\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seal Press (CA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/07\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Margot Leitman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983622734079,"sku":"9781580054782","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_940e983f-d467-4e87-a1cf-abe5e72ba5c4.jpg?v=1683267749","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gawky-margot-leitman-9781580054782","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
