Plot summary
Carson Phillips is a high school senior with his eye on Northwestern and a job at The New Yorker. His mother Sheryl, his father Neal and a hometown he cannot stand are all in the way. Advice from his guidance counselor sends him after a literary magazine, and the principal lets him start one, but the submission box comes back empty. So Carson turns to what he has on his classmates: he catches Nicholas Forbes and Scott Thomas together, and they agree to write for the school paper. Classmate Malerie Baggs offers a secret of her own, and the two of them blackmail other students into filling the magazine.
