Dying to Know You Book

In this Cyrano de Bergerac-like novel, Karl, a teenage boy, enlists a famous writer to help him impress his girlfriend, Firella. She's asked him to write her a letter in which he reveals his true self. Convinced he's not good enough with words to please her, Karl tracks down Friella's favorite author and pleads with him to take on the task. The writer reluctantly agrees on the condition that Karl submit to a series of interviews, so the letter will be based on authentic feelings. Through these lively and intelligent discussions, award winning author Aidan Chambers creates an indelible portrait of a teenage boy discovering his own voice in a world and constructs a love story that is as much about the mind as the heart.Read More

    From the master storyteller Aidan Chambers comes this new thought-provoking novel for teenagers. Karl aged seventeen is hopelessly in love. But the object of his affections Firella demands proof and poses him a series of questions regarding his attitude to the many sides of love. But Karl is dyslexic and convinced that if Firella finds out she will think he is stupid and unworthy of her and leave him. So Karl asks a local writer to help him construct his replies - and an unlikely but extremely touching friendship develops between the two men. They both come to learn a great deal about life from a very different perspective and when an act of violence shatters their calm they find their respective appraisal of life shifting in profound ways.
