| One cold night, in a most unlikely corner of Chicago, two teens--both named Will Grayson--are about to cross paths. As their worlds collide and intertwine, the Will Graysons find their lives going in new and unexpected directions. Includes a discussion guide. |
Annotation:
Silently working his way through high school, Will Grayson is forever a sidekick to his flamboyantly gay, football playing best friend, Tiny. The other Will Grayson longs for Isaac, a boy he met on the internet, and has a companionable but shallow friendship with Maura. On a Chicago street corner, the two Wills collide, and nothing is ever the same again. This teenage odyssey is written in alternating chapters by fantastic young adult authors John Green (LOOKING FOR ALASKA) and David Levithan (NICK & NORAH'S INFINITE PLAYLIST).

Praise
"[T]his powerful, thought-provoking, funny, moving, and unique plot is irresistible. Told in alternating chapters from each Will Grayson's point of view (one in lower case, effectively individualizing identities), complete with honest language, interesting characters, and a heartfelt, gritty edge, this quirky yet down-to-earth collaboration by two master YA storytellers will keep readers turning pages."
03/01/2010
"Green and Levithan craft an intellectually existential, electrically ebullient love story that brilliantly melds the ridiculous with the realistic."
03/15/2010
"Based on the premises that 'love is tied to truth' and 'being friends, that's just something you are,' this powerful, thought-provoking, funny, moving, and unique plot is irresistible."
03/01/2010
"[A]lthough they're not sensitive bloodsuckers or the offspring of Zeus or even sisters in traveling pants, the characters in WILL GRAYSON, WILL GRAYSON get to stand among the biggest heroes in modern young adult lit....[T]he novel has become the TWILIGHT of queer lit."
- Mary Elizabeth Williams
06/23/2010
"[A] complete romp....Despite its structure, which shuttles between one Will and the other, the novel is so tightly woven that it begins to feel miraculous."
