"Sevag's High School Male-O-Drama: Volume I" is a story about a teen boy who finds himself caught up in the drama of high school and growing up after he transfers to a new school. Sevag Hopefulian is a boy who longs for friends, for acceptance and for something a little less mundane, and certainly finds it when his high school career takes on a life of its own... from drugs to romance and everything in between. Antranig Dereyan does a wonderful job of writing a compelling coming-of-age tale that is emotionally charged, charming yet gritty, vividly written and features a main character that is authentic and relatable. The story is fast-paced with a smooth tone, sucking the reader in and really starting a promising series in Sevag's high school adventure. Overall, this was certainly worth the read and it left me eager to read more in the series and from the author in general.
