MY MOST EXCELLENT YEAR by Steve Kluger
When high school juniors TC, Augie, and Alejandra have to write an essay entitled “My Most Excellent Year”, they all write about their freshmen year of high school. That was the year that Alejandra, the daughter of a former Mexican ambassador transferred to public school and met flamboyant, musical theater loving Augie and big hearted Red Sox fan TC. Alternating points of view, the characters communicate with each other through emails and instant messages and write letters to their dead heroes in which they reveal their often hilarious intimate feelings and dreams.
Full of unforgettable and extremely likeable characters, this book is a very entertaining read especially for fans of Broadway or baseball.
I recommend this book to teens in grades 9-12.
