Words on Bathroom Walls [Paperback]

Soon to be a major motion picture starring Charlie Plummer, AnnaSophia Robb, and Taylor Russell!

Fans ofMore Happy Than Not,The Perks of Being a Wallflower,andIt's Kind of a Funny Storywill cheer for Adam in this uplifting and surprisingly funny story of a boy living with schizophrenia.

When you can't trust your mind, trust your heart.

Adam is a pretty regular teen--he's just navigating high school life while living with paranoid schizophrenia. His hallucinations include a cast of characters that range from the good (beautiful Rebecca) to the bad (angry Mob Boss) to the just plain weird (polite naked guy).

An experimental drug promises to help him hide his illness from the world. When Adam meets Maya, a fiercely intelligent girl, he desperately wants to be the normal, great guy that she thinks he is. But as the miracle drug begins to fail, how long can he keep this secret from the girl of his dreams?

Echoing the premise and structure ofFlowers for Algernon, thisfrank and inspiringnovel shows how a teen's life changes after he is given an experimental medication to treat symptoms of schizophrenia.

A brutal, beautiful book that sits right besideThe Perks of Being a WallflowerandI'll Give You the Sun.

This book reminds me ofA Monster Calls.I saved the final twenty pages for the next day because I didn't want Adam's story to end.
