I and You

<b>Sharp and funny. Gunderson taps into a buoyant spirit...the touching 'barbaric yawp' (Whitman's phrase) of these two deeply engaging kids. Washington Post</b><br/><br/>Housebound by illness Caroline hasn't been to school in months. Confined to her room she has only social media for company. That is until classmate Anthony bursts in - uninvited and armed with waffle fries a scruffy copy of Walt Whitman's poetry and a school project due the next day...<br/><br/>Caroline is unimpressed but an unlikely friendship develops and a seemingly mundane piece of homework starts to reveal the pair's hopes and dreams - as well as a deep and mysterious bond that connects them even further.<br/><br/>Finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize 2014. <br/><br/>This new Modern Classics edition features an introduction by Julie Felise Dubiner.
