But what happens if the first true friend he's made in years finds out about What Was Wrong With Him? Seventeen-year-old Joel Teague has a new prescription from his therapist--a part-time job--the first step toward the elusive Normal life he's been so desperate to live ever since The Bad Thing happened. Lucky for Joel, ROYO Video is hiring. It's the perfect fresh start--Joel even gets a new name. Dubbed "Solo" after his favorite Star Wars character, Joel works his way up the not-so-corporate ladder without anyone suspecting What Was Wrong With Him. That is, until he befriends Nicole "Baby" Palmer, a smart-mouthed coworker with a chip on her shoulder about . . . well, everything, and the two quickly develop the kind of friendship movie montages are made of. However, when Joel's past inevitably catches up with him, he's forced to choose between preserving his new blank slate persona and coming clean--and either way, he risks losing the first real friend he's ever had. Set in a pop- culture-rich 1990s, this remarkable story tackles challenging and timely themes with huge doses of wit, power, and heart." --|cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Mental illness|vJuvenile fiction. 650 0 Adolescent psychology|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Teenagers|xMental health|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Suicide|vJuvenile fiction. 650 0 Best friends|vJuvenile fiction. 650 0 Friendship|vJuvenile fiction. 650 0 Interpersonal relations in adolescence|vJuvenile fiction. 650 0 Gay teenagers|vJuvenile fiction. 650 0 Homophobia|vJuvenile fiction. 650 0 Prejudices|vJuvenile fiction. 650 0 Domestic relations|vJuvenile fiction. 650 0 Divorce|vJuvenile fiction. 650 0 Teenagers|xSexual behavior|vJuvenile fiction. 650 0 Teenage pregnancy|vJuvenile fiction. 650 0 Young adult fiction. 650 1 Mentally ill|vFiction. 650 1 Psychological abuse|vFiction. 650 1 Homophobia|vFiction. 650 1 Video recordings industry|vFiction. 650 1 Video rental services|vFiction. 650 1 Friendship|vFiction. 651 1 Royal Oak (Mich.)|vFiction. 651 1 Michigan|vFiction. 655 1 Mental illness|vFiction. 655 7 Novels.|2lcgft 994 C0|bCKE
