The genre of Twisted is High School Fiction. This genre I am very familiar with, this is so because I have read another book of Laurie Halse Anderson's. Twisted and Catalyst both by Laurie Halse Anderson relate to each other not only in their genre's but where they take place. Both in a High School setting, and having to deal with other teens that put some sort of pressure on them. Either by bullying or making them feel like they don't exist. In both of her stories the main characters break out of their shells and become a person no one has ever seen to them before and a shock to the readers.
Twisted "breaks the mold" by having to relate too this kind of genre. In High School it is not like how they say it is in the stories or books they "over exaggerate" just a little. Yes, their is drama and the clicks, but, in Twisted clicks can only talk and hang with the people in their click. High School rarely has clicks and you can talk to whomever you want.
Tyler hangs out with Bethany who is popular, and her brother Chip gets upset about it because Tyler is not popular, he is known as a geek who gets in a big mishap at the end of his Junior year. Bethany continues to hang out with Tyler and the more Chip gets mad. Thats when the story unfolds.........

Heather, are you saying that in this high school there are no cliques? And that your perception of high schools is that there are no cliques? Have you seen Mean Girls or 90210?
