Nigeria, West-Africa!!! Why me???

fg-book-cover-0011 So I beat-up on two kids half my age and landed them in the emergency room with cracked ribs.



"What's the big deal?" You ask from the side or your mouth, not letting go of the Nintendo cruiser you clutch in your hands.



Well, the big deal is that my parents panicked and catapulted us from the our lovely home in San Francisco to the middle of nowhere in Owasso, Oklahoma. Major downer!

Jeez! How was I to know???

Hi, welcome to my world!

(From the Feddie Girl Blogs. Copyright, April 2009 http://bernardbooks.com)



My name is Carlotta Ikedi, better known as Feddie Girl. I am the major character in the FEDDIE GIRL novel by Nona David.



I was born and bred in San Francisco, California, USA, where I spent the first twelve years of my life. Right after my twelfth birthday, my parents thought it would be a good idea to relocate to Owasso, Oklohoma. Dumb, right? I thought so… Continue
