There are those of us who find checking items off of our to-do list a major challenge. And then there are the people who run a 10K and reunite a lost puppy with its owner before noon.

SF writer Michelle Tea falls into the latter category.

Ticked off her list so far: Scoring spots in Dave Eggers’s Best American Nonrequired Reading and the Voice Literary Supplement’s Top 25 Books of the Year and having a graphic novel (Rent Girl) developed for television.

Now, to all of that, she adds her new book, Rose of No Man’s Land. Told from the perspective of a sexually confused teenager named Trisha who joins up with Rose (a trouble-causing mall rat), it’s a snarky tale about self-discovery and consumer culture with a dangerous twist. Think Ghost World meets Catcher in the Rye with a little crank thrown in to keep it chugging along.

We suggest you put it at the top of your list.

Available online at amazon.com or at your local bookstore.
