Sean Griswold's Head - (Kindle Edition)
by Lindsey Leavitt
Sean Griswold's Head
2011 Whitney Award Finalist
Payton Gritas likes everything just so-she even color-codes the pages of her school planner. But her perfectly organized life falls apart when she learns that her father has MS-and that her parents have been keeping it a secret.
Payton refuses to speak to her parents about the illness and lands herself in the school guidance office where she's encouraged to choose a personal focus exercise to help her deal with her feelings.
It's a completely ridiculous exercise, but Payton decides to try it. For her focus object, she chooses Sean Griswold's head.
Sean and Payton have been linked since kindergarten (Gritas/Griswold-it's an alphabetical order thing) but she's never really known him.
The more Payton focuses on his head, the more Payton becomes intrigued with Sean Griswold. Sean is training for a bike race, shares Payton's Seinfeld obsession, and seems to have a secret or two of his own.
As their relationship develops, Payton realizes that it actually helps to focus on something else for awhile-especially something like Sean Griswold.
But focusing on Sean won't fix her battered relationship with her father. For that, Payton has to focus on herself.
