(4) YA Glee star Colfer writes as ambitious Carson Phillips, Clover High senior and future editor of the New Yorker. To increase his chances of getting into Northwestern, Carson blackmails his intelligence-challenged classmates into submitting to the literary magazine he founded. Carson's contempt for nearly everything is initially jarring, but his abrasive narration soon settles into a sharp and occasionally hilarious satire.
