Winger is one of the best books I've ever read. BAM. There it is. Ryan Dean West is a fourteen year old junior at a fancy boarding school. He comes off a little annoying in the beginning while constantly referring to himself as a loser, but, alas, don't be put off. Ryan Dean really grows on you.I'm just going to say it.
Ryan Dean is required to live in "O Hall", the dorm reserved for the campus troublemakers after he pulls off a genius tech hack. Not only that, but he's forced to live with the school's biggest bully. Thankfully, Ryan Dean is a superb rugby player, a little bit of a fighter (natch), a romantic and a comedian. These attributes save him more than once.
As Ryan Dean makes his way through junior year friendships are tested, while some are broken, hot chicks are kissed, punches are thrown, and a tragedy occurs that will completely break your heart. Laughing hysterically one moment and then crying the next, this was my journey through this book. Whatever your preconceived notions of YA literature are - you are missing out if you don't read this book. Seriously.
