Joyce Carol Oates
Big Mouth And Ugly Girl. 5Q, 4P
-
When Matt is accused of threatening to bomb his school, everyone avoids him and mistrusts him even when he is proved innocent. The only person to stand by him is Ursula Riggs - a weird loner who's the daughter of a corporate CEO. The two troubled teens develop a relationship that is great to read about as it develops. This is a vivid, realistic and frightening look at post-Columbine high school life, suburbia and the tragic and nasty mentality of many teens and adults for that matter.
