A novella and 10 short stories written for young adults (and the young at heart) aged 13+. The novella details a gone-awry plot to make Nathan Pearson, terminal geek, a cooler representative of humanity. In the meantime, the novella's first person narrator, Grif', discovers both the highs and lows of love, friendship and authority. The 10 short stories range across subjects as diverse as coming of age, dealing with bullies, finding true love, racism, the negative impacts of mass media, dying from cancer, and dabbling with black magic.
