Tween Hobo: Off the Rails by Tween Hobo & Alena Smith
Tween Hobo: Off the Rails is a wildly original, laugh-out-loud novel from Alena Smith, creator of Apple TV+’s Dickinson, and her alter ego, Tween Hobo. Combining the voice of a 13-year-old social media-obsessed girl with the dust-and-smoke adventures of an old-school train-hopping drifter, this satirical coming-of-age story is equal parts absurd, clever, and hilarious.
From hobo jungles to Hollywood dreams, Tween Hobo shares her musings on fame, filters, hashtags, and hashbrowns all while learning to survive (and thrive) off the rails.
