There
is
a

Garrett
looks
like
he's
stepped
out

a
J.
Crew

he's
the
best
long-snapper
the
football
team
has
ever
had,
and
he
hoststheparty
every
Friday
night.
All
the
guys
want
to
be
like
him,
and
all
the
girls
want
to
date
him,
but
Jake
only
has
eyes
for
Didi,
the
girlfriend
of
quarterback
Todd
Buckley.
Rick
Paradis,
kicker
and
back-up
QB,
tries
to
stay
out
of
the
drama,
but
that's
easier
said
than
done
at
Fitzgerald
High,
especially
once
he
gets
to
know
Jake.
But
it
turns
out
nobody
knows
therealJake,
and
when
his
secret
comes
out,
his
perfectly
crafted
world
might
come
tumbling
down.
In
this
modernization
ofThe
Great
Gatsby,
beloved
author
Gordon
Korman
provides
a
new
look
at
age-old
truths
about
the
desire
for
popularity
and
acceptance,
and
the
darker
side
of
human
nature.
"A
compelling
investigation
of
the
transience
of
charisma
and
the
flimsy
underpinnings
of
popularity."
-Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Korman's reworking of The Great Gatsby places theaction in a modern framework, which makes it more recognizable for today'sreaders and may lead them to the classic. Teens will find deeper issues toconsider about popularity, being true to one's self, and taking responsibilityfor one's actions as they relate to the setting and characters."
