1 Male 1 Female
Popular high-school senior John has a secret - he loves books
But he's afraid to tell anyone for fear it'll ruin his "angry-cool" reputation
When his mother remarries, John is suddenly step-sibling with Lexie, an honor student who couldn't be more his opposite
Their many differences-from their upbringing and skin color to musical interests and friends-lead each to make flawed assumptions about the other
But when John and Lexie least expect it, they discover the old adage "never judge a book by its cover" still rings true
Mixing powerful storytelling and contemporary music with stand-up comedy "rants" about culture and society inspired by such literary classics as To Kill a Mockingbird, The Invisible Man and Brave New World, this imaginative new work asserts that if you look beneath the surface, you'll see that the world is what you make it
And the time to start creating it is NOW
