About a Boy

For ISBN 9780140293456, use ACE.

At thirty-six, Will behaves like a teenager. He reads the proper publications, visits the appropriate clubs, and knows which sneakers to wear. He is childless, single, and yet feels great. Additionally, he's figured out a terrific technique to score with ladies in single parent support groups, where there are plenty of willing and appreciative moms waiting for Mr. Nice Guy. It is there that he meets the world's oldest twelve-year-old, Marcus. Marcus is a little odd; he takes care of his mother, enjoys listening to Joni Mitchell and Mozart, and has never even had a pair of sneakers. Maybe Marcus can help Will mature and start acting like his own age, if Will can show him how to be a child.
