Set in a small Wisconsin town during the 1970's, this is the story of five young friends and how their lives are completely changed in one short summer. The leader of the clique is Jeanne, who has eleven brothers and an extra thumb on one of her hands that fascinates the other girls. When Jeanne's parents force her to have her extra digit surgically removed and her older brother starts getting into trouble, everything begins to change. Kind of a strange story that starts slowly but builds to a decent climax and interesting denouement if you can get through the first 100 pages or so. Just okay for me. Rating:**
