Ryan Dean's junior year at Pine Mountain Boarding School is off to a pretty sucky start. He has had his head shoved in a toilet, his roommate is one of his tormentors, and the girl of his dreams sees him as a little kid (maybe because he is two years younger but still!). As the year progress, Ryan will faces some serious challenges. He will sometimes succeed and sometime fail. When a serious tragedy occurs, will Ryan be able to handle it? Does he get the girl? "Winger" is laugh-out loud funny, poignant, and smart.
