What to expect

Based on the characters Simon and Baz who featured in Rainbow Rowell's bestselling Fangirl, Carry On is a ghost story, a love story, a mystery and a melodrama.

It has just as much kissing and talking as you'd expect from a Rainbow Rowell story – but far, far more monsters.


Simon Snow just wants to relax and savour his last year at the Watford School of Magicks, but no one will let him. His girlfriend broke up with him, his best friend is a pest and his mentor keeps trying to hide him away in the mountains where maybe he'll be safe.

Simon can't even enjoy the fact that his room-mate and longtime nemesis is missing, because he can't stop worrying about the evil git. Plus there are ghosts. And vampires. And actual evil things trying to shut Simon down. When you're the most powerful magician the world has ever known, you never get to relax and savour anything.

Critics Review

One of the most anticipated YA titles of the autumn . . . this will be a big one.

The Bookseller

Rowell’s magical world is finely drawn

Guardian

Thrilling and sexy, funny and shocking, deeply moving and very, very magical. Trust me, you have never, ever seen a wizard school like this.

Lev Grossman, author of The Magicians

The funny, wised-up dialogue, the tumultuous, sweet, and sexy love story is grade-A Rowell . . . a book that readers will find almost impossible to put down.

Publishers Weekly

Full of heart and humor, this fantastical tale is a worthy addition to the wizarding school genre.
