A chronic underachiever who never finishes what he starts struggles through college applications without a clue about where to dedicate his studies, a situation that compels him to sneak off to Washington, D.C., to seek the advice of a famous psychology professor, only to find himself on an unexpected high-speed adventure filled with daring and revelations. A first novel. Simultaneous eBook. - Baker & Taylor
Sixteen-year-old Scott sneaks off to Washington, D.C., seeking guidance from a famous psychologist who claims to know the secret to success, only to find himself on an unexpected adventure that helps him discover who he is and who he wants to be. - Penguin Putnam
"John Green fans will appreciate this tale." âUSA Today
"[A]Â humorous, deeply human coming-of-age story."Â âThe Washington Post
Scott Ferdowsi has a track record of quitting. His best friends know exactly what they want to do with the rest of their lives, but Scott can hardly commit to a breakfast cereal, let alone a passion. With college applications looming and his parents pushing him to settle on a âpracticalâ career, Scott sneaks off to Washington, DC, seeking guidance from a famous psychologist who claims to know the secret to success.
Â
He never expects an adventure to unfold. But thatâs what Scott gets when he meets Fiora Buchanan, a ballsy college student whose life ambition is to write crossword puzzles. When the bicycle she lends him gets Scott into a high-speed chase, he knows heâs in for the ride of his life.
Â
Soon, Scott finds himself sneaking into bars, attempting to pick up girls at the National Zoo, and even giving the crossword thing a tryâall while opening his eyes to fundamental truths about who he is and who he wants to be.
