Everyone picks on Simon Glass -- he is the epitome of nerdiness. However, one day Rob, the new-guy-cool-guy-big-man-on-campus, decides that it is his mission to make Simon Glass the "class favorite" of the junior class. His motives are not so genial, however.
Each chapter begins with what appears to be interviews from a newspaper article. Apparently, Young Stewart, the main character, has ended up in jail. But why?
This novel would be a great introduction or parallel read to Lord of the Flies. Both books concern "group-think" and the dangers of conformity. It is an easy read that could be undertaken in a week or two.
