Book: Humor, Romance, Adventure, General Fiction
Deena, the school's wild and poetic alcoholic, has her life change forever when she meets Jed, a Lothario in denim with a mother on Meth.
Mundowski High follows six high school misfits who wouldn't want to be stuck in an elevator together.
Meet Deena, the school's alcoholic. At sixteen she has been kicked out of three schools and run away from her evangelical father too many times to count. Adrienne Zollo loves role-playing games. Her overprotective mother guards her so closely she doesn't remember the last time she's walked around the block. Minty, the prankster filmmaker is out to make the most embarrassing video possible of Jojo Stephenson, a rich and isolated doctor’s son addicted to X-rated websites.
Jed McNicholl lives with his bartending mother. He is comfortable with friends who steal cars and listen to speed metal--all of this changes when he falls for Deena Dombrowski. When Deena is locked up in a substance recovery ward of a downtown hospital, she has fevered phone calls with Jed, hoping to convince him to run away with her to a place where she feels she can truly get lost--New York City. He says yes, and this is only the beginning of his troubles.
Catherine 'Monster-face' Rubin passes like a ghost through the halls of Mundowski High and secretly documents all of the above.
