The New York Times-bestselling novel You Go First reminds us that no matter how hard it is to keep our heads above troubled water, we never struggle alone.
During the course of one week, Charlotte and Ben--friends connected only by an online Scrabble game--will intersect in unexpected ways as they struggle to navigate the turmoil of middle school.
And they both sit alone at lunch.
They\'re both experiencing family turmoil.
They\'re both highly gifted.
But the two have more in common than they think.
Ben is obsessed with Harry Potter, presidential history, and recycling.
Charlotte wants to be a geologist and keeps a rock collection in her room.
On the surface, their lives seem vastly different--Charlotte lives near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, while Ben is in the small town of Lanester, Louisiana.
In a starred review, School Library Journal wrote that Erin Entrada Kelly can "capture moments of tween anguish with searing honesty." Twelve-year-old Charlotte Lockard and eleven-year-old Ben Boxer are separated by more than a thousand miles.
