Publisher's Summary
Alfie Parker has bagged the hottest date to prom … hasn’t he? Bestselling LGBTQ+ writer Simon James Green makes his Barrington Stoke debut with a life-affirming teen romance.
Harvey is popular, cool, plays football and has been in a relationship with his girlfriend Summer for as long as anyone can remember. Alfie is not popular, not cool, has a sick note so he doesn’t have to play any sport, and has been in a relationship with his Xbox since forever. So when Summer dramatically dumps Harvey just a few days before the school prom, no one is expecting Alfie to ask Harvey to be his date. Least of all Alfie. But sometimes amazing things can happen when you take a chance …
Critic Reviews
"Delightfully funny, uplifting and sweet. The queer high school promposal drama I wish I'd had as a teen!" (Lauren James)
"The Big Ask tells the hilariously heartwarming story of two boys and their foray into romance and bravery. Simon James Green possesses the unique ability to make his readers simultaneously swoon and laugh out loud all while tackling difficult subjects such as self-acceptance and bullying. Simon is one of my favourite contemporary fiction writers and his stories always remind me of why I love YA so much!” (Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé)
"Fizzes with joy, wit and hope" (Ian Eagleton)
