Summary
Since its publication, Stephen Chbosky’s haunting debut novel has received critical acclaim, provoked discussion and debate, grown into a cult phenomenon with over a million copies in print, and inspired a major motion picture.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a story about what it’s like to travel (and run away from) that strange course through the uncharted territory of high school, the world of first dates, family dramas, new friends, and the loss of a good friend and a favorite aunt. It's a world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show....of those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up. (Adapted from the publisher.)
