Sean Griswold's Head

Sean Griswold's Head by Leavitt, Lindsey. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781599904986.

According to her guidance counselor, fifteen-year-old Payton Gritas needs a focus object-an item to concentrate her emotions on. Its supposed to be something inanimate, but Payton decides to use the thing she stares at during class: Sean Griswolds head. Theyve been linked since third grade (Griswold-Gritas-its an alphabetical order thing), but shes never really known him. The focus object is intended to help Payton deal with her fathers newly diagnosed multiple sclerosis. And its working. With the help of her boy-crazy best friend Jac, Payton starts stalking-er, focusing on-Sean Griswold . . . all of him! Hes cute, he shares her Seinfeld obsession (nobody else gets it!) and he may have a secret or two of his own. In this sweet story of first love, Lindsey Leavitt seamlessly balances heartfelt family moments, spot-on sarcastic humor, and a budding young romance.
