In this unforgettable, gently humorous novel, New York Times
bestselling, award-winning author Gary D. Schmidt tells two
poignant, linked stories: that of a grieving girl
and a boy trying to escape his violent past. Meryl Lee
Kowalski is sent to a girls' boarding school in fall 1968 to move
on from her grief over a close friend's death. Matt Coffin is on
the run from a criminal gang, afraid that anyone he cares about is
at risk. When their paths cross, the pair’s connection begins to
shape each of their lives. As their loneliness is gradually
replaced by friendship, Meryl Lee finds unexpected allies and a
sense of purpose, while Matt finds a new family and hope for the
future. This riveting novel is Wednesday Wars author Gary D.
Schmidt at his best, weaving in powerful themes and raising tears
and laughter in equal measure. "Set in 1968, Just Like
That is part of an outstanding series that began with Newbery
Honor recipient The Wednesday Wars and continued
in Okay for Now, a finalist for the National Book Award.
While each book can be read separately, overlapping characters and
themes enrich each other in understated and often profound ways."
