About this Book

When Arthur McDougal is kicked out of an exclusive Manhattan's boys' school, his parents ship him off to the only place that will take him in - the Christian Science inflected Spooner School. There he meets Katrina, the charming, troubled daughter of a Hollywood movie star. As Arthur struggles with his sexuality and Katrina's beauty and talent lands her in a Broadway musical, the two forge a tender friendship. Set in the late 1960s, this is a compelling portrait of a time and place, replete with drugs, sex, Andy Warhol and some of the sharpest and funniest dialogue in recent memory.
