BREAKING THE MOLD: THE KEE MALESKY STORY

Description: An entirely fictional coming of age story of the real-life Kee Malesky (staff librarian at National Public Radio), Breaking the Mold: The Kee Malesky Story is a quirky, fast-paced comedy, narrated by NPR's Scott Simon. 

At age 7, Kee Malesky had already won a nationwide library research contest and was on her way to developing a new, more efficient method for cataloguing books that would replace the Dewey Decimal System.  But when Kee's brother, Mo, emerged as a pee-wee hockey star, Kee quickly slipped into her brother's shadow.  By age 8, Kee Malesky had stopped going to the library altogether.

Ten years later, Kee is in a deep funk, spending most of her time cataloguing her teen magazine collection and helping her mother polish Mo's trophies.  It will take guidance from her best friend, Shelly Kugelman, an appearance on a popular reality television show, and a severe asthma attack induced by toxic mold, to finally get Kee back on track.
