Written at the end of the fourteenth century, the poet Geoffrey Chaucer`s The Canterbury Tales are a collection of stories told in Middle English. Thirty pilgrims leave South work to travel to a shrine in Canterbury and become the narrators, telling each other stories of chivalrous romance, fable, parable, debate and comedy as they journey. Their accounts of the human condition remain as resonant today as when they were first written. The little book of stretching the limits of human intellect and knowledge with intriguing ideas from the borderlands of science. Unscientific propositions open this provocative book anywhere and learn how the human mind explores the unfamiliar and the unknown. The book explores the refreshing middle ground between beliefs, conspiracy theories and scientific facts. Filled with mean girl cattiness and teenage insecurities, Art Geeks and Prom Queens is a realistic portrayal of how a teenager in Rio`s position would probably think, act, and feel. As a result, I can see why it has been included in recommended reading lists for so many schools. Rio`s voice is believable and never sounded forced or like an adult trying too hard to sound like a teenager. Instead, I can completely believe that Rio is a real girl candidly describing a year in her life. In this regard, Art Geeks and Prom Queens will probably be a hit among its target audience.
