GCACWT Nonfiction Michael Garriga's commentary:
Playful, witty, and serious at the same time, this essay focuses on two outcasts who come together through their adoration of the written word. One outcast has the usual problems of a teenager; the other is dealing with way heavier issues, things grownups shy away from. Yet writing just might salvage both of their lives.
