Will Grayson, Will Grayson

by John Green and David Levithan

Summary: Two boys, both named Will Grayson, are on a collision course. Neither knows the other exists, but they are about to enter each others' lives in a very big way. The first Will, written by John Green, is your average suburban teenager, with a hilarious best friend named Tiny Cooper who is anything but Tiny. The other Will Grayson, written by David Levithan in all lowercase (so you can tell them apart) is totally emo and completely confused about life. When the two meet in the unlikeliest of ways, it causes a chain of events both hilarious and touching.

My thoughts: I always love John Green! When your English teacher talks about "voice," this is the non-boring version of what she means. If you've ever read anything by Green before, you know right away this is the part he wrote. Will Grayson is a young adult novel, but won't be on middle school shelves. If you're an eighth grader, check it out next year at your high school, or hit the public library this summer!
