The paperback edition of the novel based on the groundbreaking
musical by Jason Robert Brown and Dan Elish, 13, a story about
friendship, fitting in, and what it means to turn thirteen. Soon to
be a movie-musical streaming on Netflix! "No one said becoming a
man was easy." Evan didn't expect relevant life advice from Rabbi
Weiner, who looks so old that he must have gone to yeshiva with
Moses. But wondering what it means to become a man is the least of
Evan's problems. After being uprooted right before his thirteen
birthday from New York City to Appleton, Indiana, he's more focused
on using this fresh start to find the right friends to invite to
his bar mitzvah. Because this is his chance to get in with the
popular kids-the cool football players and pretty cheerleaders. But
it's the weird kids who welcome him, like his nerdy neighbor
Patrice and Archie, whose crutches and muscular dystrophy make him
an easy target for bullying. Evan doesn't want to be laughed at for
being different. He can pretend to be like the cool kids; he's sure
he can. But if you spend all your time pretending to be someone
else, who do you become? In this story of acceptance and
friendship, Evan prepares for his bar mitzvah, grapples with his
father's affair, and learns from his rabbi, all the while presented
with various images of what it means to be a man. While he
struggles to fit in with the popular boys at school, he eventually
learns that being cool is not as important as being a good
friend-and a good person. With relatable humor and accessible
language, and at a consumable length, this book is perfect for all
tweens and especially boys looking for a relatable read. Netflix
has announced an adaptation of the Broadway musical that inspired
13: A Novel. Jason Robert Brown will be returning to compose new
music for the show, and the cast includes Rhea Perlman, Josh Peck,
Debra Messing, and Peter Hermann.
