Right now, I am on Chapter Six of Andrew Smith's book Winger. Ryan Dean West, a rugby player, just started his junior year at his school called Pine Mountain... at age 14. His best girl friend (and crush), Annie, is a mile away from him and that's what really tears him apart. He got stuck in O-Hall, the dorm for the bad kids and rule breakers, because he hacked a teacher's phone account to make free, untraceable calls. He got put in a room with the biggest guy on the rugby team, Chas Becker. I really wonder if Ryan Dean will survive through the school year. I think he will make it, but it will be a tough journey for the next 9 months. Since Ryan Dean had to go to a dorm where he doesn't have friends I can relate because there have been so many times where i'm in a place that I don't want to be in, with no one I know. I read a book called The Perks of Being a Wallflower By: Steven Chbosky and its like my book because they both don't like where they are and they both have a crush on girls they have no chance with.
Here are 2 websites to give you a better overview on both books.
