Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: Ellie's flights of fancy are frequently funny, even when they're horrible. It's possible that the whole story is a metaphor for how puberty transforms a young girl into a different sort of person.
Con: Or maybe it doesn't mean anything at all. Lots of bizarre things happen in the story, with little or no clue what they're supposed to mean.
