Beschreibung

A powerful and perceptive coming-of-age story, in the tradition of THE CATCHER IN THE RYE. Charlie is a freshman. 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. But Charlie 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.

Most recently, he wrote the screenplay for the critically acclaimed film adaptation of Rent.
