From the Puffin edition cover:
When Asia first sees the Kodak Autographic, she is
spellbound. It is such a beautiful camera--and the pictures she could take
with it! She could capture her life here, in Texas, in 1918. Things
are changing so quickly. She needs to remember the fire that killed her
jackrabbit; the shadowy figure Asia saw slipping away from the fire; Nick
Grissom, who's becoming more than just a friend; his puzzling cousin, Boy
Blackwell; and Grandmama, who encourages Asia to follow her dreams. And
Asia especially needs Grandmama now. Because fifteen-year-old girls just
don't become photographers here, in Texas, in 1918 . . .
