BFE

Cute blondes are disappearing from her strip mall-covered suburban town, but fourteen-year-old Panny is more concerned with surviving adolescence. Raised by an unbalanced mother who thinks the perfect birthday gift is plastic surgery, and a shy uncle who spends most of his time painting miniatures, Panny is afraid she s hopelessly different. Thanks to a fortuitous misdial, she strikes up a phone friendship that seems to be the connection she s been longing for. However, she soon finds that out in BFE, a.k.a. "the middle of nowhere," anything can happen and usually does.
