With a Mad Cow for a
mother, an eccentric psychotherapist for a father, and a dweeble for an
older brother, it's no wonder sixteen-year-old Janet Bandry is ready to
enter the Dark Phase of her life. As this determined British teenager
sees it, the DP requires dressing in black, listening to jazz when she
can find the right radio station, and thinking about Deep and Meaningful
Things — when she isn't thinking about boys, what color to dye her
hair, or whether her nose piercing is infected. Told in diary entries
with a comical dose of melodrama, PLANET JANET shares the painfully
funny travails of a winning new heroine who just knows she is destined
for greatness.
