Twelve

Creating a sensation around the world, Twelve established its seventeen-year-old author as a powerful voice of the new millennium. The chilling novel follows prep school dropout White Mike through the week between Christmas and New Year-s 1999, as he takes a year off to deal an alluring new drug to his privileged peers on Manhattan-s Upper East Side.
The kids of Twelve have it all; Chris and Claude and Hunter and Laura have the best, and most, of everything, but are constantly looking for something more exotic, and more dangerous.  But Twelve is not a coming-of-age story, because these kids never had a childhood-their parents are off on holiday in Bali or business in Brussels, leaving hired help to look the other way as the kids stay home alone in their multimillion-dollar town houses, partying with drugs and sex and, in the end, much worse.

From page one, the pace is set toward an apocalyptic climax. In the penultimate party scene, when we thought we couldn-t be surprised, we are shocked. And throughout the book, where there is an excess of everything but hope, we are filled with that very emotion as White Mike struggles for nothing less than his soul.
