Description
Big Mouth & Ugly Girl by Joyce Carol Oates is a hard-hitting and page-turning novel that explores the complexities of small-town life. When Matt Donaghy, the class joker, is arrested on a charge of threatening to blow up the school, his only friend Ursula Riggs steps in to corroborate his story. The case is dropped, but Matt's old friends avoid him, and his teachers treat him with kid gloves. Even Ursula can't meet his eye, but when she catches Matt contemplating suicide, their strange friendship is born. This powerful and thought-provoking novel celebrates the beauty of unlikely friendships and the importance of standing up for what is right. With its honest portrayal of teenage struggles and social themes, Big Mouth & Ugly Girl is a compelling read that will keep you turning the pages until the very end.
