A hilarious high-school novel about sexual awakening and the search for identity, from the author of La señora Potter no es exactamente Santa Claus.

Erin Fancher is sixteen years old. When she wakes up one morning, she discovers that her skin is falling off in pieces. But is she really being eaten alive by worms? Or is this just a product of her teenage imagination? In any case, she has to go to school and deal with all the usual problems of adolescence. And nothing is easy for her friend Shirley Perenchio, the most popular girl in class either; nor is it easy for Velma Ellis, the unmarried language teacher; nor for Billy Servant, the lovestruck nerd. Set in the fictional city of Elron, in a period reminiscent of the nineties but which could just as well be our own, this hilarious novel about being a teenager and the challenges of remaining true to oneself is chock-full of pop-culture references, unforgettable characters, and vibrant parodies of the modern world.
