Dr. Bird's Advice for Sad Poets, Pre-Owned (Paperback)

Pre-Owned - Soon to be a major motion picture starring Jason Isaacs, Taylor Russell, and Lisa Edelstein * Self-deprecating humor abounds in this debut novel that pulls no punches about the experience of depression and anxiety for its teen protagonist. . . . Captivating introspection from a winning character.--Kirkus Reviews, starred review Sixteen-year-old James Whitman has been yawping ( la Whitman) at his abusive father ever since he kicked his older sister out of the house. James's painful struggle with anxiety and depression--along with his ongoing quest to understand what led to his sister's exile--make for a heart-rending read, but his wild, exuberant Whitmanization of the world and keen sense of humor keep this emotionally charged novel buoyant. A Morris Award Honor Book.
