The book focuses on protagonist Addison Schacht, a rebellious high school senior who sells drugs to his fellow pupils and insults teachers. He realises his negative qualities while filling out an application to the University of Chicago, reported Contactmusic.
Addison spends much of his time obsessing over his best friend Phoebe, which is played by Moretz, 16.
It is believed that many stars are vying for the role of Addison.
Apart from this, Moretz would be seen in "Carrie" remake and "The Equalizer".
