Clare’s norm: Lucy, a devout Colombian-American Catholic bent on reforming the church Avi, a gay, semi-observant Jew Eden, a Celtic Reconstructionist Polytheist with Irish heritage and Max, a Korean-American Unitarian. Luckily, Michael soon falls in with others bucking the St. Clare’s, the best private-and Catholic-school in town. Reeling from his family’s frequent moves, and now forced to change schools less than two months into 11th grade, Michael is resentful at being at the mercy of his father’s job and worrying about how he, an atheist, will fit in at St. This engrossing bildungsroman centers on the travails of white, first-person narrator Michael Ausman. Teen angst and religious reflection cross paths in this insightful tale of self-discovery.
