{"product_id":"9780887849459","title":"Help Me, Jacques Cousteau","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith her multiple-award-winning, bestselling, and critically acclaimed novel \u003ci\u003eThe Outlander,\u003c\/i\u003e Gil Adamson established herself as one of North America's preeminent fiction writers. But ten years before \u003ci\u003eThe Outlander\u003c\/i\u003e Adamson published another book of fiction with a small press, and writers, readers, and critics immediately sat up and took note. With this new updated edition, Adamson’s fascinating portrait of a young woman’s coming of age is ready for readers once again. \u003ci\u003eHelp Me, Jacques Cousteau\u003c\/i\u003e presents the life and times of Hazel, who is born into an extraordinary family alongside her brother Andrew. Hazel’s experiences, at once odd and completely believable, involve a diverse cast of family members who share only one thing: a penchant for eccentric behavior. In portraying a strange, compelling, dysfunctional family, Adamson demonstrates her powerful prose style, uniquely combining a scientist’s loving attention to detail, a comic’s unerring delivery, and a poet’s sublime ear.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Anansi Press Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47132179366128,"sku":"9780887849459","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780887849459_p0.jpg?v=1763850592","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780887849459","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
