Gabriel Goodman

This short novel is high on interest and low on extraneous detail. The story is told in alternating perspectives. One perspective is told by Scott, the reformed jock jerk, and Carmen, the popular hispanic lesbian teenager from a well to do family. The characters are genuine if a bit hyperbolized. The message is strong without being preachy.

The array of topics covered in this book include everything from gender issues to positive adult role models. It's a good exploration of relationships and self awareness.
