Matt Donaghy is definitely a Big Mouth area. But it’s under no circumstances gotten him in trouble — before day Matt is normally accused of intimidating to inflate Rocky River SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL.

Ursula Riggs has always been an Ugly Gal. A loner with fierce, staring eyes, Ursula has no time for petty high school stuff like friends and dating — or at least that’s what she tells herself Ursula is quite happy with minding her own business. And she doesn’t actually really understand Matt Donaghy.

But Ursula may be the only person who knows what Matt really said that day time … and she is the only one who might help him.

In her first novel for young adults, acclaimed author Joyce Carol Oates has generated a provocative and unflinching story of friendship and family, and of loyalty and betrayal.

Performed by Hilary Swank and Chad Lowe
