Love the 80s? Mall Hair Maladies is a laugh-out-loud, coming-of-age comedy with a heartwarming conclusion you won’t see coming! Hold on for the ride as these bodacious, bubblegum-pop princesses skate you back through the days of bad perms, bathroom bullies, bogus curfews, boy crushes, and burping contests!
Pittsburgh, 1985 . . .It’s not easy being the new girl, but it doesn’t take long for Randi Gattano to snag a new best friend as totally rad as she is. Randi and Tanya have everything in common-big hair, big dreams, big imaginations, and an even bigger obsession with scoring tickets to see their favorite pop queen live. How far will they go in their determination to let nothing stand in the way of the greatest night of their 13-year-old lives? And what will they ultimately learn about friendship, family, and fate?
“A marvelous blend of 80’s nostalgia, determination, self-discovery, friendship, and love.”
“Looking for that perfect “tween” book. This is it. And you might just want to share it with your mom.”
“…It reminds us that every generation has to struggle with coming of age and find ways to fit in while being true to one’s self.”
“The perfect ‘tween’ book with an added journey through the ‘historic’ 1980s. A fun combination…”
“The author brings it all back…the music, smoke-filled bathrooms, the frustrating inconvenience of having to look things up in the dictionary and wait out never-ending busy signals…original, well written…”
“What inspired me to write MHM had everything to do with being an 80s child. How wonderful it was to be present for the first days of MTV, new wave, techno, glam-metal, Steven Spielberg and John Hughes films, Saturday morning cartoons, bubblegum comics, Happy Meals, and cereal box toys!
Witnessing the emergence of dynamo artists like Prince and Madonna arrive fresh on the music scene, evolve, and reinvent themselves time and again is downright awesome. One of the many things that makes the 80s so phenomenal is that all the art/music/literature from that era is still as great as ever! Writing about that adventurous, unforgettable time makes me smile, and hopefully, it will make others smile too.” KJV
