Don't give up is a ghost, love and detective story. There's just as much kissing and talking as you'd expect in a Rainbow Rowell book - but much, much more monsters.
Centuries of prophecies foretold the arrival of the Greatest Mage, who would save the wizarding world from a devastating evil thanks to his immense power.
The bad thing is that Simon Snow is the worst Chosen that anyone has ever chosen. She usually does more harm than good with her spells, so she prefers to wield a sword and leave the magic to her best friend. The world he is supposed to save turns its nose up at him. And in the fight with the mysterious Zlořád Pleticha, Simon has not distinguished himself much in the last seven years either...
Now he's in his last year at Watford School of Magical Arts - possibly the last year of his life too - and he's not going to let it be spoiled by the fact that his horrible, scheming, cocky vampire roommate Baz may have taken the girl from him.
But Baz did something even trickier. He disappeared without a trace. And Simon won't rest until he gets to the bottom of this mystery. Recommended age 13+
