(2) YA Translated by Alisa Jaffa. Phil relates events of his seventeenth year, including his first relationship with a boy and solutions to family mysteries: the reason for his twin sister's increasing emotional distance and the identity of their father. These outrageous, sometimes tragic stories bring to mind the early works of John Irving. Teens with literary leanings will find much of themselves in this German import.
