"Inside the Mind of Gideon Rayburn" answers the question every girl wants answered: what do teenage boys really think about?

He stumbles through a wild junior year at Midvale Academy, a prestigious boarding school in northeastern Connecticut. Aided by his debauched and rebellious roommates, and an extremely efficient marijuana inhalation system, Gideon will learn everything there is to know about the elusive, complex girls of Midvale.
