ALA Best Fiction for Young Adults * New York Public Library Books
for the Teen Age A riveting, scorching--and
hilarious--autobiography by the award-winning author of Staying Fat
for Sarah Byrnes and Deadline. From trying to impress a member of
the girls' softball team (with disastrous dental results) to
enduring the humiliation of his high school athletic club
initiation (olives and oysters play unforgettable roles), Chris
Crutcher's memoir of the tricky road to adulthood is candid,
disarming, laugh-out-loud funny, relevant, and never less than
riveting. He vividly describes a temper that was always waiting to
trip him up even as it sustained him through some of the most
memorable mishaps any child has survived. And how did this guy (he
lifted his brother's homework through the entire tenth grade) ever
become a writer, not to mention the author of fourteen critically
acclaimed books for young people? The frontier may be mild, but the
book is not. Fans of Tara Westover's Educated, Jack Gantos's Hole
in My Life, and Walter Dean Myers's Bad Boy will laugh, will cry,
and will remember. "Funny, bittersweet and brutally honest. Readers
will clasp this hard-to-put-down book to their hearts even as they
laugh sympathetically."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
