For, on the privileged island community where Forgetting Elena takes place, manners are everything. Or so it seems to Whites excruciatingly self-conscious young narrator who desperately wants to be accepted in this world where everything from ones bathroom habits to the composition of \"spontaneous\" poetry is subject to rigid conventions.\n\nFrom the Trade Paperback edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Random House Books for Young Readers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45113493356597,"sku":"ByrdShop_0394483413","price":61.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780394483412_2114773c-a9d8-4c3a-acb6-51429dd7bbeb.jpg?v=1781195726","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/forgetting-elena-9780394483412","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
