The Perks of Being a Wallflower is by Stephen Chbosky. The ultimate epistolary realistic fiction work for young adults. Charlie is a freshman, his sister is a senior and his older brother is playing for the Penn State football team. His mother and father love their family, but have their own issues. Charlie has a history of mental illness and this makes friendship difficult for him. Through a series of letters, all addressed to "Dear friend," we follow Charlie through the ups and downs of his freshman year. His search for friends, and the troubles that come with having friends. A charming work that will warm your heart at the same time it breaks it.
Ratings: 11th grade - 9 out of 10 - AC (mature thematic content) - P (profanity).
