Youth In Revolt: The Journals of Nick Twisp

The classic 1996 coming-of-age novel that inspired the Michael Cera movie, written in the form of an Oakland 14-year-old's diary. Nick Twisp just wants to meet an intelligent girl, lose his virginity, cope with his dangerous family, survive high school and the even more dangerous Oakland police, and make some sense of the chaotic world around him. His cynical voice and many misadventures make for a page-turning trip back to adolescence, and to a very specific cultural time and place.
