Unless you’re the Zack Morris type, high school can be less than awesome. And Two-Shoes, the protagonist of Kenan Rubenstein’s Last Train to Old Town, is no Zack Morris.

This resilient little nerd marches to his own beat and Stone, a modern James Dean type who heads a band of misfits, has taken notice.
