Shattering Glass by Gail Giles
Simon Glass is a geek. He’s fat, clumsy, socially awkward and he has no friends. *gobbles down massive helping of unadulterated stereotype* So, Thaddeus (nicknamed “Young” by his friends) is quite surprised when the leader of his clique (oh wait… they’re jocks… I suppose “clique” doesn’t apply… *shrug* whatever) stands up for Simon against the school [...]
