Ryan Dean West is back to his boarding school antics in this bitingly funny sequel to Winger, which Publishers Weekly called βalternately hilarious and painful, awkward and enlighteningβ (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
Itβs his last year at Pine Mountain, and Ryan Dean should be focused on his future, but instead, heβs haunted by his past. His rugby coach expects him to fill the roles once played by his lost friend, Joey, as the rugby teamβs stand-off and new captain. And somehow heβs stuck rooming with twelve-year-old freshman Sam Abernathy, a cooking whiz with extreme claustrophobia and a serious crush on Annie Altmanβaka Ryan Deanβs girlfriend, for now, anyway.
Equally distressing, Ryan Deanβs doodles and drawings donβt offer the relief they used to. Heβs convinced N.A.T.E. (the Next Accidental Terrible Experience) is lurking around every cornerβand then he runs into Joeyβs younger brother Nico, who makes Ryan Dean feel paranoid that heβs avoiding him. Will Ryan Dean ever regain his sanity?
From the author of the National Book Awardβnominated 100 Sideways Miles, which Kirkus Reviews called βa wickedly witty and offbeat novel,β 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.
