Thursdays, Four O'Clockish: Ode to the Hamster in My Head

In Thursdays, Four O'Clockish: Ode to the Hamster in My Head by Stacey Knowlton, Seventeen-year-old, Teressa and her therapist thinks she has issues. People say she "used to be all right", but that was before both her grandparents died within months of each other. One day at school, the new girl at school walks up to her table at lunch and tells Teressa that she has taken her boyfriend. Teressa had no choice but to punch her, right?

Her therapist says she should express herself more. Her best friend says that she is reckless, is a rule-breaker and takes advantage of God's forgiveness. It is then that Teressa decides to tell her pastor and therapist that she is mad at God, then waits for the lightning to strike. Lightning doesn't strike, but something crazy happens. God chooses the trouble-making, disrespectful, conflicted girl to help someone. That someone is the girl she punched. Things are about to get really interesting! Paperback, 224 pages.
