Cameron, an [[Ordinary High School Student]] (with a bit of a pot problem), is cruising through his 16th year of life with low expectations and very few problems.
 
Line 8:
[[Stoner Flick|Yes, it's just as insane as it sounds.]] But it's really good, even if you just take it all at face value. It includes, along with the [[Urban Fantasy]] candy-coating, some brilliant satire and a [[Coming of Age Story]] as a delicious, gooey caramel center. [[Metaphorgotten|And maybe some frosting or sprinkles. Or even nougat. Mmm... nougat....]]
 
Written by Libba Bray, the author of the ''[[Gemma Doyle]]'' trilogy.

* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: The Copenhagen Interpretation's music is so awesome {{spoiler|it ripped a hole between universes.}} And Junior Webster is an incredible jazz trumpeteer. Too bad you can't hear any of it, since this is a book.
