Carter Finally Gets It by Brent Crawford (300 pages)

Freshman Will Carter has never gotten into much trouble, had luck with girls, or been popular at school. He’s determined to turn things around this year by joining the football team, going to parties, and dating the hottest girl who’ll have him.  His choices don’t exactly work out as planned, but they definitely make the reader laugh out loud!  If you think teenage boys are lewd and crude, this novel backs it up!  With only one thing on his mind most of the time, Carter and his boys fill up the scenes with locker room talk, but Carter manages to stay a likable character.  The highlight is his first date with Abby in the movie theater - be prepared for some disgusting imagery!  (for mature readers)
