THE HOTLY ANTICIPATED SEQUEL TO THE NO. 1 BESTSELLER CARRY ON Simon Snow is back and he''s coming to America! The story is supposed to be over. Simon Snow did everything he was supposed to do. He beat the villain. He won the war. He even fell in love. Now comes the good part, right? Now comes the happily ever after... So why can’t Simon Snow get off the couch? What he needs, according to his best friend, is a change of scenery. He just needs to see himself in a new light. That’s how Simon and Penny and Baz end up in a vintage convertible, tearing across the American West. They find trouble, of course. (Dragons, vampires, skunk-headed things with shotguns.) And they get lost. They get so lost, they start to wonder whether they ever knew where they were headed in the first place. With Wayward Son, Rainbow Rowell has written a book for everyone who ever wondered what happened to the Chosen One after he saved the day. And a book for everyone who was ever more curious about the second kiss than the first. It’s another helping of sour cherry scones with an absolutely decadent amount of butter. Come on, Simon Snow. Your hero’s journey might be over – but your life has just begun.

#1 New York Times bestselling author! In Rainbow Rowell''s Fangirl, Cath is a Simon Snow fan. Okay, the whole world is a Simon Snow fan, but for Cath, being a fan is her life-and she''s really good at it. She and her twin sister, Wren, ensconced themselves in the Simon Snow series when they were just kids; it''s what got them through their mother leaving. Reading. Rereading. Hanging out in Simon Snow forums, writing Simon Snow fan fiction, dressing up like the characters for every movie premiere. Cath''s sister has mostly grown away from fandom, but Cath can''t let go. She doesn''t want to. Now that they''re going to college, Wren has told Cath she doesn''t want to be roommates. Cath is on her own, completely outside of her comfort zone. She''s got a surly roommate with a charming, always-around boyfriend, a fiction-writing professor who thinks fan fiction is the end of the civilized world, a handsome classmate who only wants to talk about words . . . And she can''t stop worrying about her dad, who''s loving and fragile and has never really been alone. For Cath, the question is: Can she do this? Can she make it without Wren holding her hand? Is she ready to start living her own life? And does she even want to move on if it means leaving Simon Snow behind?

#1 New York Times bestselling author! Booklist Editors’ Choice 2015 - Youth! Named a "Best Book of 2015" by Time Magazine, School Library Journal, Barnes & Noble, NPR, PopSugar, The Millions, and The News & Observer! Simon Snow is the worst Chosen One who''s ever been chosen. That''s what his roommate, Baz, says. And Baz might be evil and a vampire and a complete git, but he''s probably right. Half the time, Simon can''t even make his wand work, and the other half, he starts something on fire. His mentor''s avoiding him, his girlfriend broke up with him, and there''s a magic-eating monster running around, wearing Simon''s face. Baz would be having a field day with all this, if he were here -- it''s their last year at the Watford School of Magicks, and Simon''s infuriating nemesis didn''t even bother to show up. Carry On is a ghost story, a love story and a mystery. It has just as much kissing and talking as you''d expect from a Rainbow Rowell story - but far, far more monsters.

She''s a TV writer, and something''s come up on her show; she has to stay in Los Angeles. She knows that Neal will be upset with her-Neal is always a little upset with Georgie-but she doesn''t expect to him to pack up the kids and go without her. When her husband and the kids leave for the airport, Georgie wonders if she''s finally done it. If she''s ruined everything. That night, Georgie discovers a way to communicate with Neal in the past. It''s not time travel, not exactly, but she feels like she''s been given an opportunity to fix her marriage before it starts. . . . Is that what she''s supposed to do? Or would Georgie and Neal be better off if their marriage never happened?

New York Times bestselling author Rainbow Rowell''s epic fantasy, the Simon Snow trilogy, concludes with Any Way the Wind Blows. In Carry On, Simon Snow and his friends realized that everything they thought they understood about the world might be wrong. And in Wayward Son, they wondered whether everything they understood about themselves might be wrong. Now, Simon and Baz and Penelope and Agatha must decide how to move forward. For Simon, that means choosing whether he still wants to be part of the World of Mages — and if he doesn''t, what does that mean for his relationship with Baz? Meanwhile Baz is bouncing between two family crises and not finding any time to talk to anyone about his newfound vampire knowledge. Penelope would love to help, but she''s smuggled an American Normal into London, and now she isn''t sure what to do with him. And Agatha? Well, Agatha Wellbelove has had enough. Any Way the Wind Blows takes the gang back to England, back to Watford, and back to their families for their longest and most emotionally wrenching adventure yet. This book is a finale. It tells secrets and answers questions and lays ghosts to rest. The Simon Snow Trilogy was conceived as a book about Chosen One stories; Any Way the Wind Blows is an ending about endings—about catharsis and closure, and how we choose to move on from the traumas and triumphs that try to define us.
