How to Win at High School

(4) YA Using the movie Scarface as his inspiration, high-school loser Adam, new to Nixon Collegiate, sets out to become popular by selling homework, arranging fake IDs, procuring liquor, and dealing drugs until he realizes his mistakes long beyond when he should have. Though many characters are unsympathetically drawn, the clipped, fast-moving narrative and mature content will interest some teens.
