“The
Gospel According To Larry”
By: Janet Tashjian |
|
Book Summary
Josh Swensen is not your average 17-year-old. At the age of two,
he was figuring out algebraic equations with colored magnetic
numbers. He is a prodigy who only wants to make the world a
better place. Josh’s wish comes true when his virtual
alter ego, Larry, becomes a huge media sensation. Larry has
his own Web site where he posts sermons on anti-consumerism
and has a large following of adults and teens. Meanwhile, Larry’s
identity is a mystery to everyone. While it seems as if the
whole world is trying to figure out Larry’s true identity,
Josh feels trapped inside his own creation. What will happen
to the world, and to Larry, if he is exposed?
