Description:
Teen violence, bullying and the burning quest to fit in are presented in the poems of four unforgettable high school students: Natalie, Kyle, Tricia, Miguel. Their stories unfold in this explosive book, told in free verse. A story of teen angst like no other, it is based on fictional characters but is rooted in the realities of the teen experience.
When Natalie moves to a new high school she befriends three unwitting victims into her spider-web of manipulations, lies and deceit. Through the poetry and assignments of an English class we glimpse the world of the four teens. Natalie, whose alcoholic parents, years of neglect and ultimate rape by her father’s friend have shaped her into a cruel and manipulative teen; Tricia, dealing with her blended family, is drawn into Natalies’ forbidden world of partying and rebellion; Kyle, a would-be musician, is in love with Tricia; and Miguel who lusts for Natalie while hiding the secrets of his family.
The story weaves us through their poetry, their lives and culminates at a party where the four lives fishtail out of control.
English class will never be the same.
