Summary

Another New York Times bestseller from 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.

From the publisher

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - In this "poignant and gripping" (Kirkus Reviews) young adult novel, a high school senior navigates newfound attention after a physical transformation that leaves him in unchartered waters.

"A chillingly accurate portrayal of the high-school social scene, in which morals, perceptions and conceptions of truth are continually . . . challenged."--Publishers Weekly

A screwed up past.
No visible future.
But anything can happen senior year.
