17 Things I'm Not Allowed to Do Anymore by Jenny Offill

A laugh-out-loud look at all the fun things grown-ups never let you do . . . now in paperback Jenny Offill, author of 11 Experiments That Failed, describes how tough it is to be a kid, when even the (seemingly) best ideas are met with resistance. The text is short, spare, and fall-on-the-floor funny--not to mention utterly child-friendly. Here, accompanied by Nancy Carpenter's hilariously clever illustrations, is a day-in-the-life look at a kid as she torments her brother, her pet, her classmates, and, of course, her mother. The theme of this Dragonfly Book is Just for Fun.

Jenny Offill is the author of two novels: Dept. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Last Things, a New York Times Notable Book and a finalist for the Los Angeles Times First Book Award, and of Speculation, which was named one of the ten greatest books of the year by The New York Times. She teaches in Queens University's, Brooklyn College's, and Columbia University's writing programs.
