Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Grace

Michael has just started high school, and things are looking bad. Gina, the girl of his dreams, sees him as her nerdy friend and is going out with a jock; his mom is dating his fat dentist; his dad always brings his latest girlfriend to their dinners every Sunday and ignores him; his sister, Amanda, is Miss Popular; and he's stuck with the nickname "Storky". But, slowly, things get better when Michael gets a backbone, stands up for himself, and realizes all the good things that have been there all along.

Storky is a hilarious book about an awkward teen who overcomes his shyness and fearfulness, and some parts of the book are surprisngly touching. D.L. Garfinkle does a great job protraying a teenage guy, and any one is a teen or ever has been one should read this book.
