<blockquote> <p> A novel about freaks, geeks, crushes, and friends—and how sometimes you can be all of them at once. </p> </blockquote> <p> Charlie is the freak. Gloria is the freak magnet. They're pretty much destined to meet. And when they do, sparks fly . . . for Charlie. Gloria, well, she just thinks he's like every other freak who feels compelled to talk to her, although a little better-looking than most. </p> <p> While Charlie has his head in the clouds, Gloria's got hers in a book: her Freak Folio—a record of every weirdo who's talked to her in the last year (it's a big book). But never before has she felt the pull to get to know one of them better. Until now. </p> <p> In this he-said-she-said tale of love, loss, and lucky signs from the author of the ac-claimed <i>Funny Little Monkey</i>, two young strangers at a crossroads in their lives become friends by happy accident (okay, maybe some harmless stalking is involved—and not by the person you'd think!) and forever change each other. </p>
