Growing Like a Weed : A for Better or for Worse Collection by Lynn Johnston

In this latest collection that follows the lives of the Patterson family, readers sympathize with Elly as she is dismayed to notice a need for new glasses, while John relives his “glory” days in college. Readers also experience growing pains as Michael becomes a man at college, Elizabeth starts to notice boys, and April becomes the family’s pint-sized philosopher–everyone, it seems, is “Growing Like a Weed”.
