Penny, ostracized for being a weird \"lesbo\" (she's not gay), is vulnerably but brilliantly depressive until a classmate gives her a copy of boy band Seven Up's CD and she becomes obsessed with singer Johnny Moon. The self-absorbed Ezra, fixated on German nihilism, plays with his Jeffrey Dahmer puppet, wears white stockings and pops a mind-altering combination of Ritalin and Dexedrine to combat his ADHD. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen Seven Up breaks up, Johnny Moon remakes himself as a misogynistic gangsta rapper. Penny, heartbroken but determined to save him and bring back the \"real\" Johnny Moon, persuades Ezra to accompany her on a pilgrimage down to Orlando to confront her idol. The Lamb siblings run away from school on a bus tour of the Wal-Marts and McDonald's of the continent, financing their trip by selling the Paxil and Ritalin they've been prescribed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eArrested and deported for assault after their hilarious encounter with her pop icon, Penny has been ordered to give public service speeches to atone for attacking a celebrity. Dressed in a private school uniform and under the supervision of her social worker in order to avoid doing community service, Penny delivers her hyperactive sermon on juvenile delinquency, including a description of sex as \"the Devil's Pilates,\" punctuated with the scattergun codas of her deadpan brother.","brand":"Talonbooks","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47999764627607,"sku":"9780889226104","price":808.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780889226104.webp?v=1783601667","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/legoland-9780889226104","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
