The Big Ask
あらすじ・解説
Alfie Parker has bagged the hottest date to prom … hasn’t he? Bestselling LGBTQ+ writer Simon James Green makes his Barrington Stoke debut with a life-affirming teen romance.
Harvey is popular, cool, plays football and has been in a relationship with his girlfriend Summer for as long as anyone can remember. Alfie is not popular, not cool, has a sick note so he doesn’t have to play any sport, and has been in a relationship with his Xbox since forever.
So when Summer dramatically dumps Harvey just a few days before the school prom, no one is expecting Alfie to ask Harvey to be his date. Least of all Alfie. But sometimes amazing things can happen when you take a chance …
Particularly suitable for listeners aged 13+ with a reading age of 8.
批評家のレビュー
"Delightfully funny, uplifting and sweet. The queer high school promposal drama I wish I'd had as a teen!" – Lauren James
"The Big Ask tells the hilariously heartwarming story of two boys and their foray into romance and bravery. Simon James Green possesses the unique ability to make his readers simultaneously swoon and laugh out loud all while tackling difficult subjects such as self-acceptance and bullying. Simon is one of my favourite contemporary fiction writers and his stories always remind me of why I love YA so much!” – Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé
"Fizzes with joy, wit and hope" – Ian Eagleton
"I was unable to keep the cheesiest grin off my face reading The Big Ask. No one is doing it like Simon James Green! NO ONE! Hilarious, hopeful, sweet and romantic, I cannot rave enough about how much of a superstar Simon is. Full of Simon's trademark wit and hilarity, The Big Ask is utterly gorgeous! There's no other word for it!" – George Lester
"I loved this charming, funny and incredibly sweet read … Set in the run-up to prom night, it’s packed with Simon’s trademark wit, emotion and chaos!" – Lisa Williamson
"With all of Simon James Green’s signature banter and humour, both Alfie and Harvey learn that the only expectations they need to live up to are their own — an important lesson for any age." – Irish Examiner
"Funny, kind and hopeful … A Y11 or Y13 treat to encourage a break from studying? Or to support mental health in someone feeling anxious about the end of school celebrations? Schools – this is perfect to have in the library for all those kids who have a prom coming up…" – Next Page Books
"Perfect for Heartstopper fans … authentic and relatable for all readers … Joyful, sensitive and heartwarming, The Big Ask will give you the warm, fuzzy feelings of a first love without labels." – Check 'Em Out Books
