Horny. Direct. Innocent. Intelligent. Impulsive. Lonely. Angry. Blunt. Hurtful. Astute.\u003c\/b\u003e Always longing. And what Waldo longs for most is Mr. Korgy, her creative writing teacher. A married man with a child, a mortgage, bills, broken dreams, a deteriorating appearance, and a gut. She doesn't know why she wants him. Is it his passion? His life experience? The fact that he knows about books, movies, and things she doesn't? Or is it something purer than that? Rooted in their unexpected connection, their kindred spirits, the similar filter through which each perceives the world around them? Or perhaps, it's enough for him to see her when no one else does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStrikingly sharp, brimming with biting humor, and deeply moving, \u003ci\u003eHalf Her Age\u003c\/i\u003e is a character study of a seventeen-year-old girl who disregards all obstacles in her effort to be desired and loved.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e«In \u003ci\u003eHalf Her Age\u003c\/i\u003e, Jennette McCurdy takes what could have been a simple morality tale and turns it into something more complex and infinitely more interesting.
