Here we have the continuation of the memoir began in 2007's Escape from Special about the turbulent high school years of a troubled teenager.   As with the initial volume, this one is all about navigating the perils of growing up.  Drug (ab)use and shoplifting, rock 'n' roll and school scribblings, self-esteen issues and anxiety, friendship and alienation, comic books and cooking class, dealing with the 'rents and the first fumblings of romance -- it's all here.
