Saving Francesca

Saving Francesca

Before there was Eleanor and Park, there was Francesca and Will.

A compelling story of romance, family, and friendship, with humor and heart, perfect for fans of If I Stay, The Spectacular Now, and Looking for Alaska.

Francesca is stuck at St. Sebastianâ‚¬s, a boys' school that pretends it's coed by giving the girls their own bathroom.Â Her only female companions are an ultra-feminist, a rumored slut, and an impossibly dorky accordion player.Â The boys are no better, from Thomas, who specializes in musical burping, to Will, the perpetually frowning, smug moron that Francesca can't seem to stop thinking about.
Â
Then there's Francesca's mother, who always thinks she knows what's best for Francescaâ‚¬"until she is suddenly stricken with acute depression, leaving Francesca lost, alone, and without an inkling of who she really is.Â Simultaneously humorous, poignant, and impossible to put down, this is the story of a girl who must summon the strength to save her family, her social life, andâ‚¬"hardest of allâ‚¬"herself.

Melina Marchetta is the Printz-winning author of Jellicoe Road, as well as Looking for Alibrandi and Finnikin of the Rock.
