About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager feels like they do not fit in or is struggling with the pressure to adopt a persona to be liked. It is a perfect choice for the student who feels overlooked in the social hierarchy and is tempted to change their identity just to get noticed by their peers. Finbar Frame is an awkward, sun-allergic sixteen-year-old who decides to capitalize on the vampire craze by faking a paranormal identity to win over girls. This hilarious, satirical novel explores the thin line between reinventing yourself and losing yourself. It addresses themes of honesty, self-acceptance, and the absurdity of high school trends. While the book contains some mild teenage rebellion and romance, it ultimately champions being a nice guy over being a cool fake. It serves as a great conversation starter about the exhaustiveness of maintaining a facade and the value of finding friends who appreciate the real you.
