About This Book
Camilla Cream wants to fit in, so she conforms, denying herself the
things she craves--lima beans, for example--if the other kids frown upon
them. She wakes up one morning covered head to toe with party-colored
stripes--not the state of affairs aspired to by a conventionalist, but
it's only the beginning of her troubles. Her schoolmates call out
designs and Camilla's skin reacts: polka dots, the American flag--``poor
Camilla was changing faster than you could change channels on a T.V.''
Specialists are called in, as are experts, healers, herbalists, and
gurus. An environmental therapist suggests she ``breathe deeply, and
become one with your room.'' Camilla melts into the wall. It takes a
little old lady with a handful of lima beans to set Camilla to rights.
Shannon's story is a good poke in the eye of conformity--imaginative,
vibrant, and at times good and spooky--and his emphatic, vivid artwork
keeps perfect pace with the tale.
