β¦ Synopsis
A teen at boarding school grapples with life, love, and rugby in a heartbreakingly funny novel.
Ryan Dean West is a fourteen-year-old junior at a boarding school for rich kids. Heβs living in Opportunity Hall, the dorm for troublemakers, and rooming with the biggest bully on the rugby team. And heβs madly in love with his best friend Annie, who thinks of him as a little boy.
With the help of his sense of humor, rugby buddies, and his penchant for doodling comics, Ryan Dean manages to survive lifeβs complications and even find some happiness along the way. But when the unthinkable happens, he has to figure out how to hold on to whatβs important, even when it feels like everything has fallen apart.
Filled with hand-drawn infographics and illustrations and told in a pitch-perfect voice, this realistic depiction of a teenβs experience strikes an exceptional balance of hilarious and heartbreaking.

*Upwingers* is a stirring manifesto. Real proclamations are hard to find in this day and age of sound bites and half-hearted cynicism. See why the *Village Voice* called F.M. Esfandiary "a man so rational, so articulately confident, that he emanates a kind of ultimate optimism--the triumph over alie
