Charming as a Verb - by Ben Philippe

The Field Guide to the North American Teenager by Ben Philippe is a hilarious, insightful novel that follows the story of Henri "Halti" Haltiwanger, a charming and popular student at the prestigious FATE academy.

Henri's easy smiles mask a burning ambition to attend his dream college, Columbia University, but there is only one person who seems immune to his charms: his "intense" classmate and neighbor Corinne Troy.

When she uncovers Henri's less-than-honest dog-walking scheme, she blackmails him into helping her change her image at school.

Henri agrees, seeing a potential upside for himself.

As they work together, what started as a mutual hustle turns into something more surprising than either of them ever bargained for.

This novel is a sharply funny and insightful look at the countless hustles we have to keep from doing the hardest thing: being ourselves.

With a diverse cast of characters, racial tensions, and ethical dilemmas, this book is a must-read for anyone looking for a relatable and engaging story.
