Simon Abundant dazzled readers along with his absurdist love of life in his amusing collections Ant Farm and Free-Range Birds. Now comes Rich's rollicking debut book, which explores the strangest, most twisted, and comically fraught landscape of these all: high school.Seymour Herson is minimal popular college student at Glendale, an exclusive school in Manhattan. He's painfully shy, physically inept, and his new nickname, "Chunk-Style," is in danger of entering common use. But Seymour's solitary life involves a swift end when he meets the new copy college student: Elliot Allagash, wicked heir of America's major fortune.Elliot's rampant delinquency has recently gotten him expelled from dozens of prep universities around the country. But despite his best efforts, he can't get himself thrown out of Glendale; his father has simply donated too much money. Bitter and bored stiff, Elliot makes a decision to amuse himself by taking up a challenging and expensive new hobby: transforming Seymour in to the most popular college student in the school.An unlikely camaraderie develops between the two loners as Elliot introduces Seymour to new concepts, like electricity, sabotage, and vengeance. With Elliot as his diabolical strategist and buyer, Seymour scores a spot on the basketball team, becomes course chief executive, and ruthlessly damages his enemies. Yet despite the glow of newfound level of popularity, Seymour feels ever more uneasy with Elliot's wily designs, for an Allagash victory is dishonorable at its best, and ruinous at its most detrimental.Cunningly frolicsome and wickedly funny, Elliot Allagash is a tale about all of the incredible things that money can buy, and the main one or a couple of things that it can't.
