About a Boy is Nick Hornby's comic and heart-warming million-copy
bestseller 'How cool was Will Freeman?' Too cool! At thirty-six,
he's as hip as a teenager. He's single, child-free, goes to the
right clubs and knows which trainers to wear. He's also found a
great way to score with women: attend single parents' groups full
of available (and grateful) mothers, all hoping to meet a Nice Guy.
Which is how Will meets Marcus, the oldest twelve-year-old on the
planet. Marcus is a bit strange: he listens to Joni Mitchell and
Mozart, looks after his mum and has never owned a pair of trainers.
But Marcus latches on to Will - and won't let go. Can Will teach
Marcus how to grow up cool? And can Marcus help Will just to grow
up? This astonishing novel, now a modern classic, was adapted for
the acclaimed 2002 film About A Boy, starring Hugh Grant and
Nicholas Hoult. Fans of One Day by David Nicholls and Any Human
Heart by William Boyd will devour this book, as will lovers of
fiction everywhere. 'A stunner of a novel. Utterly read-in-one-day,
forget-where-you-are-on-the-tube-gripping' Marie Claire 'About the
awful, hilarious, embarrassing places where children and adults
meet, and Hornby has captured it with delightful precision' Irish
Times 'It takes a writer with real talent to make this work, and
Hornby has it - in buckets' Literary Review
