The academic curriculum is college prep and the student body hosts
house parties every weekend, yet 14-year-old Neil Bricker can't
imagine a worse high school to attend than East Hill Regional. Shy
and wholly disinterested in the opposite sex, Neil is unable to
connect with his new, wealthy classmates. Instead, the New Jersey
teen devotes his energies to his two favorite passions: rock and
roll and sports -- the latter, serving as a barometer for his
fragile self-esteem. Adding to Neil's adolescent angst are a
popular jock classmate, who becomes a thorn in his side, and a
complex relationship with his adopted African-American brother.
Neil is envious of the pair, until a disturbing event reveals he
isn't the only one of the three who's uncomfortable in his own
skin. Set during the 1979-80 academic year, Let Me Wear Your Coat
offers a poignant, painful and humorous take on an era where
concert t-shirts, cut-off jeans and feathered hair were in style,
and will strike a chord with not only adults who grew up during
that time period, but today's teenagers, as well.
