About this book
Seventeen-year-old Greg has maintained social invisibility throughout high school and only has one friend, Earl. Together, they spend their time making amateur films, recreating scenes from classic movies by directors like Coppola and Herzog. When Greg's mother insists he befriend Rachel, a girl he knew from Hebrew school who has leukemia, Greg's carefully constructed anonymous life becomes complicated.
