This one really resonated for me. Mitchell completely captured the dizzying experience of being thirteen - not an adult, not a child, but caught in the great, confusing abyss in-between.

I'll be re-reading this one an a regular basis just to spend more time with the lead character. I'd love to meet up with him again some time. For anyone who feels that "Catcher In The Rye" is an over-rated coming of age novel, this book is for you!
