Chris Colfer's STRUCK BY LIGHTNING to Be Released as Young-Adult Novel

EW reports that Chris Colfer will be releasing his first young-adult novel on November 20th. The book, titled STRUCK BY LIGHTNING: THE CARSON PHILLIPS JOURNAL, will be an adaptation of his recently released Tribeca Film by the same name. 

Struck By Lightning tells the story of "outcast high school senior Carson Phillips, who blackmails the most popular students in his school into contributing to his literary journal to bolster his college application; his goal in life is to get into Northwestern and eventually become the editor of The New Yorker." The film stars Colfer, Allison Janney, Christina Hendricks, Dermot Mulroney, Sarah Hyland, and Polly Bergen.

The GLEE star has enjoyed great success with his recent best-selling middle-grade novel, The Land of Stories.
