STRANGE, SINGULAR, AND HILARIOUS

There really is nothing like this little book which I've been tagging along with me as I moved from coast to coast and apartment to apartment. It's kind of Lolita meets The Tell-Tale Heart. What's best about it is that it's truthful, painful, and really, really funny. It reads like a cry from the heart.

Every pubescent kid should read!

This story is the best I've ever read when it comes to describing a pubescent child in love! As an adult, I still like to read it for a good laugh.

Alex broods Poe-esque over his love, Amy.

Everyone has a mad crush at one point or another, one that causes them to devote endless hours of their lives to hopeless thoughs of that special someone. A crush you "accidently" bump into in the hallway after class, your heart racing, cheeks flushed, as you utter a squeaky "hello".Such is the case with one Alex Icicle, the cerebrally-inclined, misunderstood boy of thirteen, who is hopelessly in love with a popular, beautiful girl, Amy. In this first-person narrative, we are taken on young Alex's turbulent and emotional journey through a classic adolescent crush. Kaplow's writing style is, intelligent, witty, and poetic, making this a mature and classic young-adult novel.
