Charlie is a freshman.
And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it.
Charlie is attempting to navigate his way through uncharted territory: the world of first dates and mix tapes, family dramas and new friends; the world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. But he can't stay on the sideline forever. Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a deeply affecting coming-of-age story that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.
The Perks of Being A Wallflower is a very important to me, and my reading past. I first read this book in the fourth grade, when I first started getting into Young Adult fiction. I then reread it in the eighth grade, right as I was getting read to embark in the first year of high school, which is what Charlie is going through in this novel. The Perks of Being A Wallflower is one of my favourite books of all time, and it is a book that I think everybody, at some point in their life, should read.
