Reality Boy

By A.S. King

Book Overview

In this fearless portrayal of a boy on the edge, highly acclaimed Printz Honor author A.S. King explores the desperate reality of a former child "star" struggling to break free of his anger. Gerald Faust started feeling angry even before his mother invited a reality TV crew into his five-year-old life. Twelve years later, he's still haunted by his rage-filled youth--which the entire world got to watch from every imaginable angle--and his anger issues have resulted in violent outbursts, zero friends, and clueless adults dumping him in the special education room at school. No one cares that Gerald has tried to learn to control himself; they're all just waiting for him to snap. And he's starting to feel dangerously close to doing just that...until he chooses to create possibilities for himself that he never knew he deserved.

Very nice

I remember reading this my freshman year of high school and I loved it. I finished the whole thing in just two days and I wish I could read it again. I really recommend this book for young men purely because it freaked me out the tiniest bit when I was reading it but that could also just be because I was 14, who knows. It's a really good book though!

Ahhhhhh

This book is one of my favorites I recommend. This book brought me through multiple emotions. I was laughing happy, I was sad, I was angry.
