    In this episode of the Rogue Librarians we discuss The Perks of Being a Wallflower, by Stephen Chbosky, along with special guest Simon. The book spent over a year on the bestseller list, and has continued to find readers decades after its publication in 1999.

    We discuss favorite quotes, scenes, and ideas presented in the book, including the importance of community, the way mental health is viewed in our society, and what it means to be a coming of age novel. Please listen to our twenty-ninth episode for a discussion of why this book has been banned.
