"My Most Excellent Year: A Novel of Love, Mary Poppins, and Fenway Park" is a young adult novel by Steve Kluger, and focuses around the freshman year and lives of three kids living in Massachusetts.

Anthony "T.C." Keller is an all-American kind of kid. He is admired a lot. He is kind and also misses his mother, who has been dead for years. T.C. is best friends with a kid named Augie Hwong, who is an American-born Chinese student. Augie, who discovers that he is gay, has a penchant for theater and the performing arts. T.C., meanwhile, discovers he is in love with Alejandra Perez, a new student at the school.

Alejandra is beautiful and aloof, her father being the former ambassador to Mexico. Alejandra is being groomed for diplomacy, but she has her heart set on dance and theater. While Augie takes over the school talent show, and enlists Alejandra to participate, Alejandra is falling bit by bit for T.C., who is determined to go out with her.

By the end of freshman year, Augie is dating a boy named Andy Wexler, and Alejandra and T.C. are dating each other. Augie has decided to be a director and choreographer, while Alejandra has convinced her parents to let her go into theater. C.T., meanwhile, helps his single father find love in the form of Lori, a school counselor. C.T.'s father adopts a six year-old kid named Hucky who is deaf, and whom C.T. takes on as a little brother. C.T. himself has decided to go into politics.
