"Youth in Revolt" is the journals of Nick Twisp, California's most precocious diarist, whose ongoing struggles to make sense out of high school, deal with his divorced parents, and lose his virginity result in histransformation from an unassuming fourteen-year-old to a modern youth in openrevolt. As his family splinters, worlds collide, and the police block allroutes out of town, Nick must cope with economic deprivation, homelessness, thegulag of the public schools, a competitive Type-A father, murderous canines (intriplicate), and an inconvenient hair trigger on his erectile response--allwhile vying ardently for the affections of the beauteous Sheeni Saunders, teenage goddess and ultimate intellectual goad.
