Description

From New York Times bestselling author Laurie Halse Anderson

High school senior Tyler Miller used to be the kind of guy who faded into the background. But since he got busted for doing graffiti on the school, and spent the summer doing outdoor work to pay for it, he stands out like you wouldn't believe. His new physique attracts the attention of queen bee Bethany Milbury, who just so happens to be his father's boss's daughter, the sister of his biggest enemy, and Tyler's secret crush. And that sets off a string of events and changes that have Tyler questioning his place in school, in his family, and in the world.

"Poignant and gripping." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"Once again, Anderson's taut, confident writing will cause this story to linger long after the books is set down." —SLJ

    As always, Anderson has blown me out of the water with another amazing book. She's definitely under appreciated in my opinion. An amazing read.

    Ummm sorry to say this is most definitely not a kids book. I feel that the 12 and up limit is still much to young and suggest that it have an age limit of about 15 and up. The book is great but not appropriate for those in the 12 year range especially if they are an immature 12. Over all though the book is very good and it's definitely a book where once you start you can't put it down. Totally recommend this book.

  • Good cliché book

    I really liked the book. The beginning was amazing an his difficulties with his family and his crush. And the ending where it leaves you hanging(kinda irritates me) but you can make up your ending(kinda coollol) and its wonderful how she keeps it realistic. *Must read for teens*

  • Great book

    There are very few books that I can read that will put good imagery into my head, yes almost every book puts a movie into your head but if your like me and you've seen more than a few movies and watch tv, the image you get in your head is just rehashed from all the movies and tv shows you've seen. This is one of the few that I have actually gotten original imagery from, and due to that I could probably read this book again. (Also considering that I read it in about 12 hours) But all joking aside I am 17 (almost 18) years old and I feel as though I can relate to this book because as a member of society we can all relate because we've all fine through the social experiment/ sifter known is the education system. This is a book that I could see being a great movie but at the same time wouldn't want to see it because the imagery that I got from the book was already more than perfect.

  • Good book
