Horny. Blunt. Naive. Wise. Impulsive. Lonely. Angry. Forceful. Hurting. Perceptive. Endlessly wanting. And the thing she wants most of all: Mr. Korgy, her creative writing teacher with the wife and the kid and the mortgage and the bills, with the dead dreams and the atrophied looks and the growing paunch. She doesn't know why she wants him. Is it his passion? His life experience? The fact that he knows books and films and things that she doesn't? Or is it purer than that, rooted in their unlikely connection, their kindred spirits, the similar filter with which they each take in the world around them? Or, perhaps, it's just enough that he sees her when no one else does. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStartlingly perceptive, mordantly funny, and keenly poignant, \u003ci\u003eHalf His Age\u003c\/i\u003e is a rich character study of a yearning seventeen-year-old who disregards all obstacles--or attempts to overcome them--in her effort to be seen, to be desired, to be loved.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJennette McCurdy\u003c\/b\u003e is the \u003ci\u003e#1 New York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author of \u003ci\u003eI'm Glad My Mom Died\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the 2023 American Library Association Alex Award.
