What''s a young girl supposed to do when her mom and dad refuse
to let her have her ears pierced? She can argue, she can beg, she
can swear that-if only they''ll say yes -- she''ll be nice to her
little brother for one whole year. And whether or not she persuades
them, she can find herself in this true and funny tail of a
charmingly persistent girl determined to have what she wants and
needs and loves: beautiful, glorious earrings for pierced ears.
