Seventeen: A Tale of Youth and Summer Time and the Baxter Family, Especially William is a humorous novel by Booth Tarkington that gently satirizes first love, in the person of a callow 17-year-old, William Sylvanus Baxter. Seventeen takes place in a small city in the Midwestern United States shortly before World War I. It was published as sketches in the Metropolitan Magazine in 1914, and collected in a single volume in 1916, when it was the bestselling novel in the United States.

seventeen year old boy falls for ridiculous girl

This reminds me of my sons at that age. it was interesting to look at things through the eyes of this young fellow. I enjoyed the characters and the reading was very well done. The annoying girl who had the boys heads in a whirl ... what can I say. She had these young boys experiencing their first crushes. Who can account for young love? The depth of the feelings and blindness to her obvious flaws... well that can happen. I enjoyed it.
Funny Ha Ha

Jonathon Burchard has a unique talent for bringing out the humor in Booth Tarkington's books. He's recorded several, but this one is the best, and especially funny to anyone who has ever had teenaged children.

I am a fan of the author, but ... One of the main characters spoke baby talk all of the way through the book. SAVE YOUR TIME!

Wanted to give 5 stars but for some reason it won't let me. Thank you! Great job reading! Tarkington is always a lot of fun!

The reader is hilarious when he makes his voice high pitched for a female character.
