A High School Nothing

By Bill Cole Cliett

Socrates is used to no one noticing her. After her father's mysterious death (which Socrates is sure was suicide), her mother uproots their lives and moves them to an area full of strangers. The kids at her new high school completely ignore her-except one. It starts as an accident. Socrates is forced to share a seat on the bus with Nietzsche, named for the author of a book he's never without. Rumors abound about the strange bad boy, but Socrates sees something very different that day. She's intrigued. When Nietzsche invites her to join the unofficial Philosophy Club at the local comic book shop, she begins to feel like someone is seeing her for the first time. The club names her Socrates for her inquisitiveness. As Socrates finds her place in the club, she remains intrigued by Nietzsche. When she probes him about his difficult past, she also learns about the true purpose of the Philosophy Club. Nietzsche has big plans, and Socrates will have to choose a side. In this young-adult drama, Bill Cole Cliett deftly weaves a tale about social isolation and bullying. Socrates hasn't yet realized the trauma Nietzsche is dealing with-or his dangerous way of seeking closure.
