About the Book

Lookout! Silky is coming. She's brash, adventurous, fun, humorous, sarcastic and sometimes profound and she is growing up. But only on her terms. On a skate board Silky is a hero, except to the boy with nose hairs so long he can walk on them. In class, learning about the American Indians. Silky wants to know just one thing. "Where are the bathrooms?" With some people, gas pains lead to thunder. The school wants Silky to wear a diaper. Her father feels this could lead to bloodshed. Silky does the impossible. She bellys a skate board and saves a young child. She breaks up a weeding with a bite in the rear. Girls at school want to know how it tastes. A drunk in a pool hall insists Silky drink with him. She is saved by two mysterious strangers. They begin to follow her and she tries to get rid of them. They claim they are her escorts, it is a debt of honor. An unusual relationship develops, she calls them Hippos. Mamie, Silky's mother is fearful Silky is being escorted by the Mafia. A boy at school begs her to bite his rear so he too can get his picture in the paper. Domo, the godfather, has a passion for reindeer. Silky teaches the father of the godfather ride board in his house. A wandering Holy man takes up temporary residence in the city park. People call him Buddha in the park. He rarely speaks but he does condescend to give advice to Silky, advice she doesn't want. She calls him sitting butt. Silky falls in love with a street musician but he ignores her. She enlists the help of a beauty make over genius called The Witch Doctor. She presents this new beauty to the musician. It is then she finds the shocking truth. She delivers flowers to a wedding where two men are getting married and everything is pink. Silky doesn't care for parades but the godfather makes her an offer she can't refuse. The truth about going to parades. A mother begs to have her sick child in the parade. The child dies and Silky freaks out. The Holy man makes one last gesture and explains death, in simple terms, to Silky. The ball is on its way to Chicago. You may or may not identify with Silky but there's one thing for sure, you'll have fun trying.
