Author Description

Art students collaborated to create an interactive art book that challenges stereotypes and raises the question: what is the?average American teenager? Using a familiar mix-and-match format often found in children's books, readers can flip the heads, torsos, and legs of teen stereotypes to create brand new and complex people. The Loner, the Athlete, the Immigrant, and seventeen other archetypal characters transform from one-dimensional stereotypes to multifaceted human beings according to the reader's actions.
