Jungle

?Back then, our favorite game was to play ?prohibition?. We would go up to my mother's dressing room, a place that became our domain, and dressed up in ladies cocktail dresses. Then we would put on old records and dance the Charleston, sipping whiskey stolen from the dining room liquor cabinet. Julia was a divine dancer. ?Would you care to dance, darling she would murmur languorously. I would then wiggle around and sing off key while she laughed hysterically.? Louise and Julia are neighbors who share a passionate and exclusive friendship that shields them from their parents? neurosis. Clumsy, affectionate Louise invents a world filled with wild animals and tropical plants while fascinating Julia, a budding beauty queen, discovers dissection. Together the girls face the growing pains of adolescence.
