My Most Excellent Year, by Steve Kluger
My Most Excellent Year: A Novel of Love, Mary Poppins and Fenway Park, by Steve Kluger is Recommended.
In the 11th grade, friends TC, Augie and Alejandra are in Ms. LaFontaine’s English class when they are assigned to do a project detailing their “Most Excellent Year”. Each one of them decides on the 9th grade as being the best year of their young lives and the reader watches the best year of their lives unfold in a series of class assignments, diary entries, instant messages, e-mail to and from each other, letters and e-mail between them and their parents, and their parents’ correspondence with each other. We wonder if TC will ever drop his wiseguy act long enough to get the girl, if Augie’s relationship will workout and whether Alejandra will ever have the courage to face her diplomat parents to tell them that it is her dream to sing and dance.
