Publisher Description
#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.
Customer Reviews
My life my heart my soul
I run a fan account for this book, 5 years after I read it. That’s how good it is.
Unique twist to prophecy trope
Beautiful story and unique perspective on the school of magic troupe. Wonderful portrayal of real emotions and how trauma effects the individual. It made me so happy towards the end when I realized that Simon had a way out and he could be the person he’s meant to rather than being forced to fit into the right confines of being a prophetic person.
Great Read!
Rainbow Rowell does it again! What a great book, this is my first time reading this genre and I’m quite happy. Looking forward to finish the series and hopefully learn more about Simon and his friends.
