Twisted
By: Laurie Halse Anderson
In Twisted; the book is about a boy who in his early
years was titled “Nerd Boy”. He soon got tired of being
called this so he did a prank on his school to show kids
what he’s about. Tyler spray painted his name on the
front of his school. He got arrested shortly after, and on
the first day of school he had everybody look at him like
he was some kind of hero, but also people looked at him
for some kind of freak. He is like every other grade 11
who has fallen for the girl of his dreams. This girl so
happens to be named Bethany Milbury, but is also the
daughter of Tyler’s dad’s boss!
Once Tyler got used to his reputation, he started
going to parties, mostly with his girlfriend. One time
Bethany invited him to a party, and when Tyler showed
up she was so drunk she couldn’t stand. Soon after Tyler
showed up she invited him into a bedroom, hoping they
would have sex. Tyler shut her down because he didn’t
want to do anything with her when she’s drunk, which
caused a big scene and later got the police involved.
When Tyler got home he noticed a police car in his
driveway, when he walks into house he sees a police man
talking to his parents.
