Stand-Off

Stand-Off

Ryan Dean West is back to his boarding school antics in this bitingly funny sequel to Winger, which Publishers Weekly called â‚¬Å“alternately hilarious and painful, awkward and enlighteningâ‚¬Â (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

Itâ‚¬s his last year at Pine Mountain, and Ryan Dean should be focused on his future, but instead, heâ‚¬s haunted by his past. His rugby coach expects him to fill the roles once played by his lost friend, Joey, as the rugby teamâ‚¬s stand-off and new captain. And somehow heâ‚¬s stuck rooming with twelve-year-old freshman Sam Abernathy, a cooking whiz with extreme claustrophobia and a serious crush on Annie Altmanâ‚¬"aka Ryan Deanâ‚¬s girlfriend, for now, anyway.

Equally distressing, Ryan Deanâ‚¬s doodles and drawings donâ‚¬t offer the relief they used to. Heâ‚¬s convinced N.A.T.E. (the Next Accidental Terrible Experience) is lurking around every cornerâ‚¬"and then he runs into Joeyâ‚¬s younger brother Nico, who makes Ryan Dean feel paranoid that heâ‚¬s avoiding him. Will Ryan Dean ever regain his sanity?

From the author of the National Book Awardâ‚¬â€œnominated 100 Sideways Miles, which Kirkus Reviews called â‚¬Å“a wickedly witty and offbeat novel,â‚¬Â Stand-Off is filled with hand-drawn infographics and illustrations and delivers the same spot-on teen voice and relatable narrative that legions of readers connected with in Winger.
