YA
In a teenage boy's fairy tale come true, "serious dork" Jeremy discovers a pill that actually makes him cool. Once swallowed, the squip, a microcomputer, tells him how to walk, talk, dress, and perform in social--and sexual--situations. Vizzini's invention is a clever device for exploring high school social strata and the thinly veiled code for success.
