The Improbable Theory of Ana & Zak

The Improbable Theory of Ana & Zak by Brian Katcher, 328 pages

Ana is a brilliant overachiever who is terrified that if she steps out of line her parents may disown her.   She is college bound and seems to have everything going for her but her life is rules by what her parents want her to do.  Zak is also smart but is what Ana thinks of as a slacker.  When Zak is enlisted to help at an Academic Bowl competition for a weekend, reluctantly, he and Ana are unwittingly thrown together when Ana’s younger brother heads to a comic convention in the city.  This book is funny, touching and realistic, despite the almost madcap adventure aspect.  I think that a lot of teens would like it.
