![]() ![]() Park knows immediately that the popular kids on the bus will eat her for lunch, so he silently offers her a seat. But when he sees Eleanor Douglas get on the bus one morning, he knows he's not as much of an outsider as she is.Ĭhubby, with bright red hair and a habit of dressing in men's clothing, Eleanor's mere existence is like a glowing neon sign for the bullies in their high school. Park Sheridan, a half-Korean high school kid in the very Caucasian city of Omaha, Nebraska, feels like an outsider in lots of ways: He's obsessed with music, he loves comic books, and he doesn't have a ton of friends. Since this book is set in the mid-1980s, in true 80s cassette-tape style, we rewind to the beginning of the school year to find out what happened. ![]() When the book opens, we learn right away that our narrator, Park, has lost someone named Eleanor. ![]()
