YA
Conventional high-schooler Nanette's life changes after she befriends Nigel Booker, elderly author of a classic cult novel about nonconformity. Booker sets her up with fellow teen fan Alex, a poet with a troubled, violent past. This is an ode to revolutionary literature--its power to inspire change and incite action (positive and otherwise); it's also an engaging bildungsroman as Nanette comes into her own.
