If there was ever any doubt whether the narrative command that Jennette McCurdy displayed in her bestselling memoir \u003ci\u003eI'm Glad My Mom Died\u003c\/i\u003e might translate to fiction, let it henceforth be put to rest.\"--\u003ci\u003eElle\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e Waldo is ravenous. Horny. Blunt. Naive. Wise. Impulsive. Lonely. Angry. Forceful. Hurting. Perceptive. Endlessly wanting. And the thing she wants most of all: Mr. Korgy, her creative writing teacher with the wife and the kid and the mortgage and the bills, with the dead dreams and the atrophied looks and the growing paunch. She doesn't know why she wants him. Is it his passion? His life experience? The fact that he knows books and films and things that she doesn't? Or is it purer than that, rooted in their unlikely connection, their kindred spirits, the similar filter with which they each take in the world around them? Or, perhaps, it's just enough that he sees her when no one else does. Startlingly perceptive, mordantly funny, and keenly poignant, \u003ci\u003eHalf His Age\u003c\/i\u003e is a rich character study of a yearning seventeen-year-old who disregards all obstacles--or attempts to overcome them--in her effort to be seen, to be desired, to be loved.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennette McCurdy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798217412624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Random House Audio Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/17\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e CD","brand":"Jennette McCurdy","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":48453278564607,"sku":"9798217412624","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_937f95f8-f5de-4216-b7fa-0ec8fdda8276.jpg?v=1777299282","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/half-his-age-jennette-mccurdy-9798217412624","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
