Caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it, Charlie must learn to navigate those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.Ī years-long #1 New York Times bestseller, an American Library Association Best Book for Young Adults and Best Book for Reluctant Readers, and with millions of copies in print, this novel for teen readers (or “wallflowers” of more-advanced age) will make you laugh, cry, and perhaps feel nostalgic for those moments when you, too, tiptoed onto the dance floor of life. All of these books are included regularly in junior high and high school curricula because of their literary merit and because.
Devastating loss, young love, and life on the fringes. Thanks to Charlie’s bookishness, The Perks of Being a Wallflower discusses many classic works of literature, including On the Road, Hamlet, This Side of Paradise, To Kill a Mockingbird, and The Catcher in the Rye. Sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. First dates, family drama, and new friends. The critically acclaimed debut novel from Stephen Chbosky, Perks follows observant “wallflower” Charlie as he charts a course through the strange world between adolescence and adulthood. Now a major motion picture starring Logan Lerman and Emma Watson, The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a funny, touching, and haunting modern classic. Read the cult-favorite coming-of-age story that takes a sometimes heartbreaking, often hysterical, and always honest look at high school in all its glory. Emma Watson attends the gala screening of her film The Perks of Being a Wallflower at the May Fair Hotel in central London, September 26, 2012.
