Burger Wuss
Author(s): M. T. Anderson
"Savaging young love, male adolescence, and the fast food business. . . . Did somebody say McSatire?" - Kirkus Reviews (starred reviews)
Anthony has never been able to stand up for himself -- that is, not until his girlfriend is in someone else's arms. Then Anthony vows revenge and devises the Plan. It begins with getting a job at the fast-food restaurant where his nemesis happens to be a star employee. But when the Plan is finally in place, will Anthony's hunger for revenge be satisfied? Will he prove he's not a wuss?

M. T. Anderson teaches in the MFA in Writing for Children program at Vermont College. He says: "When I was a teenager, I worked at McDonald's. On my first day, I had to go into the women's room and sponge up something that looked like an industrial disaster. I was almost fired for putting up a sign on the door that said Out of McOrder. The whole experience went downhill from there."
