When the old man at a garage sale gives 16-year-old Victor an old Royal manual typewriter so Victor “can get the story it has inside, out”, Victor is surprised to find out there’s a pretty good story in it – all about Victor and the girl he meets at the cabin where Victor does his writing. Write Naked was aptly described by SLJ as “refreshingly lacking in teen angst” and “chastely sensual”; and will appeal to students who appreciate great writing, readers interested in teen writers, and romance readers. Highly recommended.

Highly recommended. Reviewed by Angie Fisher for TeensReadToo.com In a world full of technology, Victor is elated when he finds an old Royal typewriter at a garage sale. Doesn't matter that he isn't a writer. Not one to hang out much with friends, Victor comes across an old book while going through items from his mom's hippie community living days. It recommends one write naked in order to find the "story within." He figures he has nothing to lose...until he looks out the window to find he's being spied on. By a girl. Full of voice and innocence, WRITE NAKED takes the reader on Victor's journey of self-discovery of a world he didn't realize existed, until he allows himself to stop and pay a bit more attention. While I found myself annoyingly patronized by the theme of global warming and the "world-coming-to-an-end" lecture, I did enjoy the voices and the bonding of the two main characters. no reviews | add a review
