Publisher Description
High school senior Tyler Miller used to be the kind of guy who faded into the background—average student, average looks, average dysfunctional family. But since he got busted for doing graffiti on the school, and spent the summer doing outdoor work to pay for it, he stands out like you wouldn’t believe. His new physique attracts the attention of queen bee Bethany Milbury, who just so happens to be his father’s boss’s daughter, the sister of his biggest enemy—and Tyler’s secret crush. And that sets off a string of events and changes that have Tyler questioning his place in the school, in his family, and in the world. In Twisted, Laurie Halse Anderson tackles a very controversial subject: what it means to be a man today. Fans and new listeners alike will be captured by Tyler’s pitchperfect, funny voice, the surprising narrative arc, and the thoughtful moral dilemmas that are at the heart of all of the author’s award-winning work.

" This book was just a bit too adult for me to feel comfortable putting it in my classroom library. However, it would be great for high schoolers. "
— Mindi, 11/2/2013 -
" I started this book but only made it a few chapters. I usually finish book no matter what, however with this one I found it inappropriate, and uninteresting. "

" It took a little while for this book to get going, but once it did, I couldn't put it down. Tyler may be the most sympathetic character Laurie Halse Anderson has created. "

" Thought it very appropriate for the 14 - 16 yr. old boys at school. I'm sure some parent out there would disagree with me, but they probably live in an austere universe that's near denial. "
