Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Teen angst meets the Internet with disastrous but hilarious results in a charming coming-of-age story from multiple award-winner Okimoto. Jason, living with his father and step-mother, finds solace in a chatroom where he strikes up a romance. She asks for a picture, and he sends one of his step-brother instead. But his cover is blown with the pal decides to visit.

Synopsis:

No duh! Not only are Jason's parents divorced — his mother acts like he has the plague and his father thinks shouting is the ultimate motivational tool — but his best friend has moved to California. It gets worse: his father decides to remarry and it turns out his stepbrother is Mr. High School All-American. Jason finds solace in a chatroom when he strikes up a romance with a cyberpal. She wants a picture. No problem. Until he decides to impress her by sending a picture...of his stepbrother. Oops.
