SideScrollers / Matthew Loux / 216 pgs.

This book follows the characters Brian, Brad and Matt who are in that period of their lives where they are right out of High School and really have no direction for their futures.  Kind of like the movie "Clerks" or "Mall Rats" the story is filled with their sarcastic remarks, disdain for conformity, and endless hours of sitting around watching movies and playing video games. 

Their lazy days are interrupted by the arrival of a new girl in town, who Matt is sweet on, but is dating the local bully / football jock.  The boys band together to try to steer her away from the jerk and win her over, as the shenanigans ensue. 

If you enjoy Kevin Smith films or liked "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" then you'll find yourself ROFL at the little remarks and side action that goes on in the story.
