The Vigilante Poets of Selwyn Academy by Kate Hattemer

A look into the lives of those forced into reality television, this book will have you laughing, cringing, and tapping frantically on your dictionary app. 

Ethan is a great narrator, giving the reader a no-holds-barred look into a teenage artist's life.  He presents his friendships, crushes, confusion, and rebellion with an honesty that will keep you rooting for his success throughout the entire story. 

This is a good one for guys and girls alike, even though the protagonist voice is male.  We've all been in situations where we realize that our friends might not be the people we thought they were, and our relationships might have different meanings to each of us.  Would you sacrifice everything for your friends?  Would they do the same for you?  Ethan, Elizabeth, and Jackson all have a chance to find out for sure.

Full of humor, wit, and guerilla poetry (not to mention awesome vocab words with which to impress your friends), this is a must-read.
