{"product_id":"9781590175675","title":"Terrible, Horrible Edie","description":"Even if she has lived ten terrible years, terrible, horrible Edie really  isn’t terrible and horrible at all, but rather one of the most charming  and engaging and gutsy children in American children’s fiction. It’s  true of course that Edie does get into—and not always without it being  at least a little bit her fault—some pretty terrible and horrible  scrapes, and that sometimes she will sulk, but these are the kinds of  things that happen to the kid sister of two snooty boys and one  fancy-pants girl, not to mention having to deal with the distraction of  two half sisters who are no better than babies. Edie’s father and  stepmother have headed to Europe for the summer, and though the rest of  the family can look forward to good times at a beloved summer house on  the sea, Edie still has to fight to hold her own. Adventures on a  sailboat and on an island, and the advent of a major hurricane and what  Edie takes to be a military coup, all come to a climax when Edie solves  the mystery of who stole the neighbor’s jewels and saves, at least for  one day, the day. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This story of Edie and the other members of the Cares family may remind readers of Arthur Ransome’s \u003ci\u003eSwallows and Amazons\u003c\/i\u003e, except that Edie has an experimental, even anarchic streak that is all her terrible, horrible own.","brand":"New York Review Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47138099134704,"sku":"9781590175675","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781590175675_p0.jpg?v=1763808735","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781590175675","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
