The Diary of Charlie Monroe A coming-of-age story for anyone who's ever felt invisible. Flawed, ambitious, self-assured, and just the right amount of cocky-Charlie Monroe is fourteen years old, living in the year 2000, armed with big dreams, a sharp tongue, and a serious grudge against social oblivion. They're not falling in love. They're fighting to be seen. In a small town where ambition goes to die, Charlie is battling school disasters, family chaos, pop star fantasies, and their own tendency to say the wrong thing at the worst time. This is a story about choosing yourself. About friendship, failure, family drama, setbacks and comebacks, and finding your voice-when no one else seems to want to hear it. Set during a year of vending machine betrayals, mixtape heartbreak, and low-budget pop dreams... this is the diary of Charlie Monroe.
