Wayward Son (Simon Snow, #2), by Rainbow Rowell

“What do people eat in Nebraska?!” Snow asks. “Their dreams!” I shout at him.

Wayward Son may have been born the moment someone said to me, “Too bad Simon and Baz will never visit Omaha.” It was a joke -- because all my other books take place in Omaha. But I’m extremely contrary, by nature, so my immediate thought was, “Oh, yeah? I could get them to Omaha… ROAD TRIP!” Carry On observes and comments on Chosen One stories but doesn’t have much to say about UK culture. With Wayward Son, I felt much more qualified to talk about America. I especially enjoyed writing about the Midwest through these three English kids.
