But those novels were, as a shy suburban kid, some of the first hints I had that high school, and life, could be different. The latter takes place at a high school that holds, instead of a date auction, a fundraising slave auction.The conceits sound fairly generic, told that way.
The first book tells the story of a troubled but talented kid writing an essay about a failed relationship that lead him to move from his father’s house in Texas to his mother’s house in California. And because I know many people I respect love both that show and Party Down, I suppose I’m happy that Rob Thomas is getting a new television show.But I kind of wish the guy would get back to high school, particularly to the work he did in two of his young adult novels, Rats Saw God and Slave Day that are two of the most important books I read as a young teenager. I know I need to get started on Veronica Mars, so much so that it’s on my list of New Years Resolutions and in my Netflix queue.
