Addy & Prue Fairweather live with Nell, their widowed mother, in a flat above her shop on the Scotland Road. The sisters, however, are very different.

Addy is dark-haired, plain & always in trouble whereas Prue is flaxen-haired, blue-eyed & as angelic as her looks imply. To make matters worse, Nell makes no secret of her preference for the younger girl, increasing Addys jealousy & resentment.

The fourteen-year-old narrator of IN ZANESVILLE is a late bloomer. She flies under the radar-a sidekick, a marching band dropout, a disastrous babysitter, the kind of girl whose Eureka moment is the discovery that 'fudge' can't be said with an English accent. Luckily, she has a best friend with whom she shares the everyday adventures of a 1970s American girlhood, incidents through which a world is revealed, & character is forged. In time, their friendship is tested
- by their families' claims on them, by a clique of popular girls who stumble upon them & by the first, startling, subversive intimations of womanhood. With dry wit & piercing observation, Jo Ann Beard shows us that in the seemingly quiet streets of America's innumerable Zanesvilles is a world of wonders & that within the souls of the overlooked often burns something radiant.
