Any Way the Wind Blows

Rainbow Rowell is the award-winning #1 New York Times bestselling author of Eleanor & Park and the Simon Snow Trilogy, plus several other novels, short stories, and comics. She lives in Omaha, Nebraska, just like most of her characters.

Praise for the Simon Snow trilogy:

"Beautifully realized and deeply satisfying. All of its characters are so wonderfully drawn that it's almost impossible to fathom that they will be no more."-Booklist (Starred Review) on Any Way the Wind Blows

"At last! A sequel to Carry On...every bit as fine as the first...overall excellence of a book in which every vista pleases and every character delights. Carefully plotted, the book is a classic page-turner right to the open ending which, o frabjous day, promises a sequel to the sequel! One can hardly wait." -Booklist (Starred Review) on Wayward Son

"Rowell imbues her magic with awe and spectacle. It's a powerful, politically minded allegory about sexual, ethnic and class identity - with a heady shot of teenage lust." -New York Times Book Review on Carry On

"It's a brilliantly addictive, genuinely romantic story about teenagers who can't be neatly sorted into houses, coping with stress and loss and the confusion of just trying to be who they are. It's as if Rowell turned the Harry Potter books inside out, and is showing us the marvelous, subversive stuffing inside." -Time Magazine on Carry On

"Full of heart and humor, this fantastical tale is a worthy addition to the wizarding-school genre." -People Magazine on Carry On

"Carry On is the fantasy book I didn't know I'd been waiting for for years...Rowell's mystery, magic, and political intrigue is the sexiest love story I've read in a long time." -Julie Beck, for The Atlantic

"The funny, wised-up dialogue, the tumultuous, sweet, and sexy love story-is grade-A Rowell...almost impossible to put down." -Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Carry On

"Stock up on copies-this one begs to be reread." -Booklist (starred review) on Carry On

"With rock-solid worldbuilding, a sweet and believable romance subplot, and satisfying ending, Carry On is a monumentally enjoyable reading experience. Hand this to fans of Rowell, Harry Potter, love stories, and magic."
