Young Adult
In this enormously funny, smart, and moving contemporary
YA novel, fighting for the thing you love doesn't always
turn out like in the movies.
Movies have always
helped Ethan Ashby make sense of the world. So when
developers swoop in and say the classic Green Street Cinema
is going to be destroyed to make room for luxury condos,
Ethan is ready for battle. And so a motley crew of cinema
employees comes together to save the place they
love:
There's Sweet Lou, the elderly organist with a
penchant for not-so-sweet language; Anjo, the too-cool
projectionist; Griffin and Lucas who work concessions, if
they work at all; and Ethan, their manager (who can barely
manage his own life). Still, it's going to take a movie
miracle for the Green Street to have a happy ending. And
when Raina Allen, Ethan's oldest friend (and possible soul
mate?), comes back to town after working in Hollywood—cue
lights and music—it seems that miracle may have been
delivered. But life and love aren't always like in the
movies.
This Book is Not Yet Rated is about
growing up, letting go, and realizing love hides in plain
view—in the places that shape us, the people who raise us,
the first loves who leave us, and the lives that fade in and
fade out all around us.
