Ridiculous / Hilarious / Terrible / Cool: A Year in an American High School

(3) YA Notebook in hand, Cooper spent a year hanging around the halls of Chicago's Walter Payton High School, primarily documenting the lives of eight seniors. There's no story here, but Cooper's accounts of conversations, classes, crushes, and more--the small and large dramas of high school--are precisely observed, affecting, and often funny. Loose-lined spot-art sketches decorate many of the pages.
