The journal of Michael "Storky" Pomerantz tells the tumultuous tale of life as a high-schooler-complete with the fact that the love of his life is dating a high school football player. As he chronicles the highs-and, of course, the most embarrassing lows-of his freshman year in high school, Storky paints an amusing and oftentimes hilarious portrait of an average teenager. But Michael is a not-so-ordinary kid, with a wit and charm that is atypical of average teens, and you will soon be cheering for him to lose his nickname and win the girl.
