Fiercely funny, honest, and poignant, this story of a growth spurt
gone wrong is perfect for readers who love Becky Albertalli and Jesse
Andrews. WIll Daughtry is a late bloomer--at least, that's what
everyone tells him. On his sixteenth birthday, Will is just shy of
five feet, and he is bitterly resigned to being tiny forever. His only
comforts are his best friend and stepbrother, Drew (6'3"), and their
pal Monica (5'10"), the girl Will's been quietly pining for since
fifth grade. Everyone else literally overlooks him. But with them, he
feels whole. That is, until things take an unexpected turn, and he
realizes he's really and truly on his own. That's when he starts to
grow. And grow fast. Astonishingly fast. For the first time, Will's
happy with his stature, and the world's at his feet (for a change).
People see him differently; more important, he sees himself
differently. But the highest heights come with some low, low lows, and
his most precious relationships suffer excruciating growing pains.
Will has to figure out what to do with himself--and all of this new
"himself" he never expected to have. "Outsized in heart and humanity."
--Gillian Flynn, bestselling author of Gone Girl and Sharp Objects "A
coming-of-height specimen whose humor you won't outgrow."--Kirkus "A
delightful romp with heart."--Booklist "Brown gives readers so much to
connect to and relate. Characters are sincere, especially in their
introspective frustrations about feeling small (physically and
metaphorically)."--SLJ
