The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Description
Read the cult-favorite coming-of-age story that takes a sometimes
heartbreaking, often hysterical, and always honest look at high school in all
its glory. Now a major motion picture starring Logan Lerman and Emma Watson,
The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a funny, touching, and haunting modern
classic. The critically acclaimed debut novel from Stephen Chbosky, Perks
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 years-long 1 New York
Times bestseller, an American Library Association Best Book for Young Adults
and Best Book for Reluctant Readers, and with millions of copies in print,
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. Read more
