The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy & Goth Girl

(4) YA Alienated from peers and parents alike, Donnie loses himself in comic books and willfully ignores the rest of the world--until Kyra, a troubled "goth girl," unexpectedly befriends him. Though the abrupt ending is a letdown, providing scant explanation for Kyra's neuroses, Donnie's conflicts are resolved with a satisfying suggestion of growth that chides his complacency without diminishing his problems.
