New York Times Teen Genius (and Hermit) Carrie Pilby's To-Do List:
1. List 10 things you love (and
do them!)
2. Join a club (and
talk to people!)
3. Go on a date (with someone you actually
like!)
4. Tell someone you care (your therapist
doesn't count!)
5. Celebrate New Year's (with
other people!)
Seriously? Carrie would rather stay in bed than deal with the immoral, sex-obsessed hypocrites who seem to overrun her hometown, New York City. She's sick of trying to be like everybody else. She isn't! But when her own therapist gives her a five-point plan to change her social-outcast status, Carrie takes a hard look at herself--and agrees to try.
Suddenly the world doesn't seem so bad. But is prodigy Carrie willing to dumb things down just to fit in?
