Features: This book has been adapted into a TV series by ABC in the United States, which achieved the highest comedy ratings for the channel in 2003. It was also voted "Most Popular New Comedy Series" by the People's Choice Awards. The book sparked a nationwide discussion in the U.S. about father-daughter relationships. It is witty, humorous, and captures the anxious, conflicted emotions of fathers dealing with teenage daughters. It seems like just yesterday, their little daughter was dragging her bunny slippers and asking for bedtime stories. But now she's wearing a crop top and demanding car keys with a stern face. Suddenly, the cute little girl you knew is gone, replaced by a rebellious teenage girl. W. Bruce Cameron—a successful best-selling author and a father who is also unprepared for his daughter's growth—describes the father's struggles with his daughter's coming-of-age and the helpless humor of "dueling" with her in exaggerated and witty language.
