Speak was a popular book (and tv movie - the Library has the DVD!) with girls.  Now Laurie Halse Anderson has written a book with a high school boy as the main character. Twisted may be even better than Speak.

At the end of his junior year, Tyler got into trouble for a calculated crazy act of graffiti at the school.  As punishment, he spent all summer sweating, doing manual labor, but started his senior year buff and famous on campus.  Bethany, the most popular girl in school, is now interested in him. Later, however, when naked photos of Bethany appear on the web, everyone blames Tyler for yet another crazy act, and his life goes dramatically downhill.  How depressing can life get before a person resorts to the worst solution possible? 

I loved this book for its glimpses into a guy's mind (as he looks at Bethany, for example).  It was funny until it got scary - I was tense for hours, wondering what decisions Tyler would make.  "No, don't do it!", my mind was shouting.  This book is also available on CD.
