Description



About the Book



Hornby's first novel for young adults--a wonderfully witty, poignant, "New York Times"-bestselling story about a teenage boy who is unexpectedly thrust into fatherhood--is now available in a trade-sized paperback edition.



Book Synopsis



The #1 New York Times bestseller from the beloved, award-winning author of Dickens and Prince, High Fidelity, and About A Boy.

For 16-year-old Sam, life is about to get extremely complicated. He and his girlfriend--make that ex-girlfriend-- Alicia have gotten themselves into a bit of trouble. Sam is suddenly forced to grow up and struggle with the familiar fears and inclinations that haunt us all.

Nick Hornby's poignant and witty novel shows a rare and impressive understanding of human relationships and what it really means to be a man.



Review Quotes
