This laugh-out-loud, original and chaotic tale of teenagers, dolls, dogs, football, baklava, first love, new love and one helluva party is the perfect book for people who never quite go about things the right way.

A motley group of teenagers try to navigate the school year:

I can catch tennis balls in my mouth.

Matilda

You may sneer but they all adore me.

Chelsea Dean

She's kinda cute but if she bites, try rubbing her tummy.

Craig R

Go Cockies!

A. Tarano - chick magnet

I do own an elephant.

Georgia

Sure, I threw up on his bedroom floor, but we're still an item.

Joshua Y

They shot me - but I don't know why.

Zeynep

I, like, kinda like cops.
