The Great American Whatever By  Tim Federle For Ages: 14 and up From the award-winning author of  Five, Six, Seven, Nate!  and  Better Nate Than Ever  comes “a Holden Caulfield for a new generation” ( Kirkus Reviews , starred review). Quinn Roberts is a sixteen-year-old smart aleck and Hollywood hopeful whose only worry  used  to be writing convincing dialogue for the movies he made with his sister Annabeth.
