Charlie is a freshman and while's he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run away from it. Charlie is attempting to navigate his way through uncharted territory: the world of first dates and mixed tapes, family dramas and new friends; the world of sex, drugs and the Rocky Horror Picture Show. His grandfather is an embarrassing bigot; his new best friend is gay; and his sister must resolve her pregnancy without her boyfriend's support. But Charlie must also face up to the sexual abuse he experienced as a child. And he cannot stand on the sidelines forever...
This is a deeply affecting coming-of-age story that will take you back to those wild and poignant roller-coaster days know as growing up. Now a major motion picture adapted and directed by the author, and available on dvd.
