Kimberly Akimbo

Under a giant clock face looming over her corner of New Jersey, Kimberly Levaco is about to turn sixteen, though a rare condition ageing her four times too fast means she looks past seventy. Between the ice rink, the school library and a cramped home where her father drinks and her pregnant mother frets, she is falling for Seth, a tuba-playing anagram fan, just as her ex-con Aunt Debra turns up with a not-quite-legal scheme for fast money.
