520    "Joel's new job at the video store is just what the 
       therapist ordered. 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.
