“A timeless story for every young person who needs to understand that they are not alone.” —Judy Blume “Once in a while, a novel comes along that becomes a generational touchstone. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is one of those books.” —R. J. Palacio, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wonder This #1 New York Times bestselling coming-of-age story with millions of copies in print takes a sometimes heartbreaking, often hysterical, and always honest look at high school in all its glory. The critically acclaimed debut novel from Stephen Chbosky follows observant “wallflower” Charlie as he charts a course through the strange world between adolescence and adulthood. First dates, family drama, and new friends. Sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Devastating loss, young love, and life on the fringes. Caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it, Charlie must learn to navigate those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up. A #1 New York Times bestseller for more than a year, adapted into a major motion picture starring Logan Lerman and Emma Watson (and written and directed by the author), and an American Library Association Best Book for Young Adults (2000) and Best Book for Reluctant Readers (2000), this novel for teen readers (or wallflowers of more-advanced age) will make you laugh, cry, and perhaps feel nostalgic for those moments when you, too, tiptoed onto the dance floor of life. 224 pages Publisher : Simon and Schuster Date Published : June 29, 2010 24 other members have this in Catalogpauw owns this book jenius_03 owns this book summer love owns this book NnineSy owns this book davanita owns this book thewalkingcliche owns this book satiao8 owns this book Ana_taraletsbehappy owns this book ima_vee owns this book charles_amado has read this book hernybels has read this book pacmik has read this book Skye has read this book bookminded has read this book MadPotato has read this book demetria30 has read this book koori-chan has read this book Tweety has read this book JadeFox has read this book PrincessPea wants this book missemerald wants this book francesca_elaine07 wants this book mariconed wants this book Miss Alison wants this book Talk about thisRe: My Favorite Book 2010 Contest - Winners Awarded
