Peter Benoit's "You" should be in the hands of thousands of unhappy,  unsocial teens. Parents and teachers could watch their faces light up  because someone has finally written about the kids other people ignore.  Although what I liked best is that the book reminded me of the opening  chapter of "The Picture of Dorian Gray" as evil infiltrates the garden,  kids are going to relate to a protagonist who is filled with anger and  boredom and fear of what he hasn't done. He wants to do the right things  and ends up doing the opposite. His group, the Hoodies, doesn't fit in. They say that they don't  care (except that they really do). They get on each other's nerves and wish their teachers had a clue  that the school belongs to everyone, not just the sports stars. Kyle Chase tells the story in a second-person narrative. I like his  use of "you." It is almost as if he is talking to himself, hearing the  voice tell him, "If only YOU had said," or "If only YOU had tried. . .  ." Charles Benoit has a good ear for teen speak (slang) as well as teen  feelings. The end of the book has been called "shocking" and "explosive," but  Benoit offered plenty of foreshadowing, and the ending seemed reasonable  and expected to me. The whole book can be read in a couple of hours. . .  it really moves along and the dialog flies by.
