The Perks of Being a Wallflower
nyteacher avatar reviewed on + 152 more book reviews


This is a unique look at the problems teenagers today face. It's told through a series of letters to an anonymous recipient. Charlie is trying to find his place in high school and is swept into a world of drugs, drinking, sex and the Rocky Horror Picture Show. This isn't a light teen read, it deals with heavy issues. Charlie seems to face every teenage problem imaginable, yet the story remains believable.
