Growing up can be difficult, as detailed in this witty account of adolescent discovery by acclaimed author Ron Koertge. Larry, Teresa, and Elliot have been best friends forever, but things are changing with their senior year of high school almost over. Larry is struggling with his sexual identity, Teresa wants one of the boys to look at her as more than a friend, and Elliot is thinking he might be better off as an individual outside the group. As it plays out, the three learn more about themselves and each other than they ever though possible.
