Twisted

Tyler Miller, a senior in high school, used to be the kind of person who blended in with the background—average looks, average academic standing, and an average problematic household. He sticks out like crazy, however, since he was caught putting graffiti on the school and had to labor outside all summer to pay for it. Tyler's hidden infatuation and the daughter of his father's employer, Bethany Milbury, also happens to be a queen bee and notices his new body. She is also the sister of his fiercest opponent. And it starts a chain of incidents and adjustments that make Tyler wonder where he fits into the world, his family, and the school.

The highly regarded Laurie Halse Anderson addresses a contentious issue in Twisted: what it means to be a male in the modern world. Tyler's flawlessly humorous style, the unexpected storyline, and the deep moral questions that underpin all of the author's widely read, award-winning works will captivate both readers and newcomers.
