Wholesale Yearbook

It's 1996, senior year of high school has just begun, and Lester is at a total loss. He should be studying and making plans for life after graduation, but he wanders the back roads of his small town on the Puget Sound, visiting the local beaches and ignoring all his schoolwork. His father recently left, his mother is more than slightly distracted, and his sister Grace is finding it hard to adjust. But Lester is smart and funny; he loves his friends, Milton's Paradise Lost, the Ramones, and "the yearbook arts," as he calls them. Eventually he even comes to appreciate Mr. Traversal, the new Yearbook teacher who prefers that students call him by his first name, Jeff. When Lester and Jeff run afoul of the school's insufferable interim principal, they come up with a plan to create an "underground yearbook." This renegade project and Jeff's unlikely mentorship provide the spark that helps Lester to accept his past and to give his future a second chance. (Medium Discount)
