The Aqua-Net Diaries
Jennifer Niven tackles her most harrowing expedition of all: high
school. Her first two books,
The Ice Master and
Ada
Blackjack, relayed the tales of deadly and dramatic Arctic adventures,
but now she tells a survival tale of a different kind--her own
thrilling, excruciating, and utterly unforgettable adventure in a
midwestern high school during the 1980s.
Richmond, Indiana, is a place where people know their neighbors and go
to church on Sundays. It also has only one high school with 2,500
students, and for many of the students and the townspeople, it is the
center of the universe. In
The Aqua-Net Diaries, Niven takes readers
through her adolescent years in full, glorious---and hilarious---detail,
sharing awkward moments from the first day of school to driver's ed to
her first love against a backdrop of bad 1980s fashion and big hair.
Like Chuck Klosterman in
Fargo Rock City, Niven's voice perfectly
captures the pain, joy, and shame of going through adolescence in
America's heartland, making a funny, touching, and universal experience.
