Peach Fuzz

Peach Fuzz by Jared Hodges. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781598164862.

Nine-year-old Amanda is a lonely girl who would love nothing more than to have a pet to play with and show off to her few but fickle friends. When her mother finally agrees, Amanda chooses a ferret and names it Peach. Amanda finally has something no one at school has! There are just two big rules: Amanda has to care for Peach, and Peach cannot bite her ever. When prissy Peach sees Amandas hands--a five-headed monster, in the eyes of a tiny ferret with a princess complex--she bites in defense! What will Amanda do now? Grand Prize winner of TOKYOPOP’s Rising Stars of Manga competition, artists Lindsay Cibos and Jared Hodges have created a fun and charming tale, which teaches us that all friends are hard to understand...especially furry ones who like to bite your fingers.
