The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a deeply affecting coming-of-age story that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up. With a hit film adaptation starring Emma Watson and Logan Lerman. Another Stephen Chbosky adaptation, Wonder, starring Owen Wilson and Julia Roberts, is also a must-see.Charlie is a freshman. And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. 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; the world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. 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.'A coming of age tale in the tradition of The Catcher in the Rye and A Separate Peace... often inspirational and always beautifully written' USA Today

Boken bakom filmen The Perks of Being a Wallflower "Det är nåt visst med honom, eller hur?" Bob nickade. Sen sa Patrick nåt som jag nog aldrig kommer att glömma: "Han är en wallflower. Han står och tittar på." Jag visste inte att andra människor tänkte saker om mig. Jag visste inte att de iakttog mig. Jag satt på golvet mitt emellan Sam och Patrick i en källare på min första riktiga fest, och jag kom ihåg att Sam hade presenterat mig för Bob som sin kompis. Bob höjde sitt glas och bad alla att göra detsamma. "Skål för Charlie." Och hela gänget sa: "Skål för Charlie." Jag vet inte varför de gjorde det, men det betydde mycket för mig att de gjorde det. Särskilt Sam. Särskilt hon. Under sitt första år i high school går Charlie från att iaktta till att delta. Med naiv skärpa beskriver han utvecklingen från ensamhet till vänskap, förälskelse och sexuella irrfärder. Från förträngning till förlamande insikt. Wallflower (The Perks of Being a Wallflower) har sålts i över en miljon exemplar i USA och toppat New York Times Bestsellers List. Stephen Chbosky har även skrivit manuset till filmatiseringen av boken. Filmen The Perks of Being a Wallflower har tilldelats ett flertal stora filmpriser och fängslat biobesökare världen över (utk. på dvd i Sverige 2013).

Charlie is a shy and introspective teenage boy, a wallflower always standing on the edge of the action. We learn about him through the letters he writes to someone of an undisclosed name, age and gender, a stylistic technique which adds to the heart-wrenching earnestness of the story. More intimate than a diary, Charlie's letters are singular and unique, hilarious and devastating.Charlie encounters many of the struggles familiar to everybody from their school days, from making friends, first crushes, experimenting with drugs and sexuality, but he must also deal with his best friend's suicide and a shocking realisation about his beloved late Aunt Helen which challenges his very grip on reality.This is a funny, touching, memorable first novel which captures with resounding accuracy the voice of a boy teetering on the brink of adulthood.

Ensamstående mamma Kate Reese är på flykt. Beslutsam att förbättra sitt och hennes sons, Christopher, liv flyr hon från ett våldsamt förhållande mitt i natten tillsammans med sin son. Tillsammans hamnar de i den samhöriga samhällskretsen i Mill Grove, Pennsylvania. Det är så långt bort från den vanliga vägen som de kan komma. Bara en motorväg in, en motorväg ut. Till en början verkar det som det perfekta stället att till slut slå sig ner. Sedan försvinner Christopher. Under sex långa dagar kan ingen hitta honom. Tills Christopher dyker upp från skogen vid stadens kant, oskadd men inte oförändrad. Han återvänder med en röst i huvudet som bara han kan höra, med en uppgift som bara han kan fullfölja: Bygg en kojplats i skogen till jul, annars kommer hans mor och alla i staden aldrig att vara desamma igen.
