About This Book
Creating a sensation around the world, Twelve established its
seventeen-year-old author as a powerful voice of the new millennium. The
chilling novel follows prep school dropout White Mike through the week
between Christmas and New Year’s 1999, as he takes a year off to deal an
alluring new drug to his privileged peers on Manhattan’s Upper East
Side.
The kids of Twelve have it all; Chris and Claude and Hunter and Laura
have the best, and most, of everything, but are constantly looking for
something more exotic, and more dangerous. But Twelve is not a
coming-of-age story, because these kids never had a childhood - their
parents are off on holiday in Bali or business in Brussels, leaving
hired help to look the other way as the kids stay home alone in their
multimillion-dollar town houses, partying with drugs and sex and, in the
end, much worse.
From page one, the pace is set toward an apocalyptic climax. In the
penultimate party scene, when we thought we couldn’t be surprised, we
are shocked. And throughout the book, where there is an excess of
everything but hope, we are filled with that very emotion as White Mike
struggles for nothing less than his soul.
