YA
Adam Ziegler, a.k.a. Z, is running the lights for his school play. Z's struggle to balance his techie loyalty with his growing interest in an actress also forces him to face his feelings over the loss of his father. Through Z's narration, Zadoff develops a complex character study that's equal parts witty, informative, insightful, and painfully realistic.
