Say You Will

A funny, heartfelt novel about one high school boy’s quest for a prom date, perfectly time for the surge in realistic YA. Sam is not exactly what you’d call a regular guy: while his IQ is stratospheric, his social skills don’t quite rank as high, and his dating history: well, there’s no history to speak of . . . yet. But Sam has set out to finally fit in. He’s resolved to get some answers wrong in class; to stop getting perfect marks on his assignments; to get to know some people other than Ian and Brooke, his two closest (okay, only) friends–and find himself a prom date. And the prom is on everyone’s mind: Sam’s school has become swept up by promposals–in other words, very elaborate, very public scenes in which someone is asked to the prom. Sam thinks he might have found the inspiration he needs to ask the girl dreams out for a perfect night at the prom–as well as the unforgettable way to do it.
