Synopsis
Jeremiah Reskin enters 10th grade equipped with a tethered libido and a hodgepodge of adolescent questions: will I make it with a girl? will I find any new friends this year? Jeremiah meets Renee, the sexy new girl. Their paths will converge, but not before Jeremiah entertains a host of big and small problems. Much of the narrative is conveyed through Jeremiah's composition class writing assignment--a written account of sophomore year. A New York Times Notable Book for 2002.

Industry Reviews
"In a coming-of-age story ultimately shaped by sexual awakening, Mr. Weisberg fondly and hilariously brings every tiny detail to life, and rarely tips his own hand as a grown-up."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (02/14/2002)
"This is in its own way an extremely modest novel, and I mean that as praise. Like his hero, Weisberg rarely shows off. He does not score points through or off his characters. He is a gentle comic concerned to illuminate small, oblique movements of consciousness as well as the social comedy of everyday life."
Chicago Tribune - Maureen McLane (01/20/2002)
"[T]his artful, devourable first novel...deserves an A."
Chicago Tribune Books - Mark Rozzo (03/17/2002)
