<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Two misfits. One extraordinary love. Eleanor -- Red hair, wrong clothes. Standing behind him until he turns his head. Lying beside him until he wakes up. Making everyone else seem drabber and flatter and never good enough -- Eleanor. Park -- He knows she'll love a song before he plays it for her. He laughs at her jokes before she ever gets to the punch line. There's a place on his chest, just below his throat, that makes her want to keep promises -- Park. Set over the course of one school year, this is the story of two star-crossed sixteen-year-olds -- smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Limited collector's edition of <i>Eleanor & Park</i> features a new jacket, an exclusive Q&A with author Rainbow Rowell, and several stunning pieces of fan art.<br></b><br><b>#1 <i>New York Times</i> Best Seller!</b> <p/><i>Eleanor & Park</i> reminded me not just what it's like to be young and in love with a girl, but also what it's like to be young and in love with a book.-John Green, <i>The New York Times Book Review</i><br><i>Bono met his wife in high school</i>, Park says.<br><i>So did Jerry Lee Lewis</i>, Eleanor answers.<br><i>I'm not kidding</i>, he says.<br><i>You should be</i>, she says, <i>we're 16</i>.<br><i>What about Romeo and Juliet?<br>Shallow, confused, then dead.</i><br><i>I love you</i>, Park says.<br><i>Wherefore art thou, </i>Eleanor answers.<br><i>I'm not kidding, </i> he says.<br><i>You should be.</i><br>Set over the course of one school year in 1986, this is the story of two star-crossed misfits-smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try.

Sometimes she writes about adults (<i>Attachments</i> and <i>Landline</i>). Sometimes she writes about teenagers (<i>Eleanor & Park</i>, <i>Fangirl</i> and <i>Carry On</i>). But she always writes about people who talk a lot. And people who feel like they're screwing up. And people who fall in love. <p/>When she's not writing, Rainbow is reading comic books, planning Disney World trips and arguing about things that don't really matter in the big scheme of things. <p/>She lives in Nebraska with her husband and two sons.</p>
