From the award-winning author of Five, Six, Seven, Nate! and Better Nate Than Ever comes "a Holden Caulfield for a new generation" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).

Quinn Roberts is a sixteen-year-old smart aleck and Hollywood hopeful whose only worry used to be writing convincing dialogue for the movies he made with his sister Annabeth. Of course, that was all before--before Quinn stopped going to school, before his mom started sleeping on the sofa...and before the car accident that changed everything.

Enter: Geoff, Quinn's best friend who insists it's time that Quinn came out--at least from hibernation. One haircut later, Geoff drags Quinn to his first college party, where instead of nursing his pain, he meets a guy--okay, a hot guy--and falls, hard. What follows is an upside-down week in which Quinn begins imagining his future as a screenplay that might actually have a happily-ever-after ending--if, that is, he can finally step back into the starring role of his own life story.

Review:
"The Great American Whatever knocked me out. Tim Federle writes with a rare voice -- original, authentic, engaging."--Rob Thomas, author of Rats Saw God and creator of Veronica Mars

"A raw nerve of a book--so perfectly tender and funny and true. My heart now belongs to The Great American Whatever. Officially. Completely."--Becky Albertalli, author of Simon Vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda

*"Federle's first foray into YA is an accomplished effort, dramatic and distinguished by carefully developed, appealing characters... whimsical, wry, and unfailingly funny."--Booklist, starred review

*"A Holden Caulfield for a new generation."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"The mix of vulnerability, effervescence, and quick wit in Quinn's narration will instantly endear him to readers."--Publishers Weekly

*"Even under the weight of grief, Quinn's conversational and charming narrative voice effervesces, mixing humor and vulnerability in typical Federle style."--School Library Journal, starred review

"Recommended for mature teens who want to be inspired."--VOYA

"Federle's YA debut takes its place in the lineage of Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower and John Green's coming-of-age tales."--Horn Book Magazine

*"What sets this fantastic novel apart is Quinn's brilliantly realized, often hilarious first-person voice, from laugh-out-loud asides to heart-wrenching admissions...Charming and imaginative."--Shelf Awareness, starred review

"Federle has triumphed. He's written a moving tale about grief that's also laugh-out-loud funny."--The New York Times Book Review
About the Author:
Tim Federle is "a prolific scribe whose breezy wit isn't bound to a single genre" (Huffington Post). Tim's award-winning novels include The New York Times Notable Books The Great American Whatever and the Nate series--which Lin-Manuel Miranda called "a wonderful evocation of what it's like to be a theater kid." Tim cowrote both the Tony-nominated Broadway musical Tuck Everlasting, and the Golden Globe and Oscar-nominated Best Animated Feature Ferdinand, starring John Cena and Kate McKinnon. A native of San Francisco who grew up in Pittsburgh, Tim now divides his time between New York and the internet (@TimFederle).
