"Wayfarers is an elegantly written and emotionally resonant story about two lost people finding themselves and their place in the wide, wild world. A gorgeous, multilayered, atmospheric love story for the ages. Sylvie and Knox captured my heart." -- Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author
A must-read for fans of Morgan Matson and Kasie West, this YA novel in verse and conversation--cowritten by bestselling authors Jeff Zentner and Brittany Cavallaro--follows a girl trying to outrun her problems and a boy just discovering the outside world as they embark on a life-changing road trip.
What do you do
when there's nothing
in this world you want
more than to spend two
more hours with someone
and nothing in the world
you want less than to only
spend two more hours
with someone?
Sylvie said she wanted to live the van life after high school, but all she really wanted was to escape. With unlimited resources and an escape-artist golden retriever by her side, she keeps her eyes on the road to distract her from everything she left behind.
Knox grew up on the edge of society, without a phone, a school, or a real name. He's never felt like he had a firm place to stand, but he's done writing his story in vanishing ink.
On one of the worst days of Sylvie's life, Knox helps rescue her dog and breaks his arm in the process. To apologize, Sylvie offers him a ride. But Knox is keeping some big secrets, and so is Sylvie. They must decide: If the other person knew the whole story, would they take a chance on--and maybe even fall for--a wayfaring stranger?
