One of the best books I have read all year. I encourage teachers, parents, and really everyone to read it. An insightful and detailed look into the world of outcasts, popularity, and school culture, the book includes analysis of quirk theory as well as narrative accounts of a core set of "outcasts" that exemplify what many teens experience. Again, if you work in a school system or with teens and want to make more of a difference, check this book out.
