ISBN 9781435213579; paperback; 213 pgs.
Written from the perspective of Charlie as letters to 'Dear Friend,' Perks documents the freshman school year of a quiet, intelligent, wallflower.
I love that the story is set in the early '90s, something that teens today may not feel too strongly about, but for me it feels like the period in history when people were meant to be teenagers (probably because I was a kid then and idolized any teen I knew). This book is a classic YA novel and I always see it as a must-read for any teen.
The movie is coming out super soon! Check out the official website!
Movies of books I love are always a little nerve wracking, but this one seems promising. Plus, Hermione plays Sam and Percy Jackson plays Charlie. Match made in heaven!
