At first, TJ pleaded with his mom to allow him to wear regular clothes so he could fit in at school, but his mom insisted that he keep wearing his uniform to school. She even taught him a little about the history of sagging pants, and why they're really aren't so cool. She then challenged him to be a leader-not a follower, and advised him to lead by example.TJ took his mom's advice and decided that instead of trying to fit in, he would stand out by being himself and educating his classmates about why it's important that they pull up their pants and dress smartly. But would they listen?

Acclaimed as a "gifted, courageous writer"(The New York Times), Chris Adrian brings all his extraordinary talents to bear in The Great Night—a brilliant and mesmerizing retelling of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream." On Midsummer Eve 2008, three people, each on the run from a failed relationship, become trapped in San Francisco's Buena Vista Park, the secret home of Titania, Oberon, and their court. On this night, something awful is happening in the faerie kingdom: in a fit of sadness over the end of her marriage, which broke up in the wake of the death of her adopted son, Titania has set loose an ancient menace, and the chaos that ensues will threaten the lives of immortals and mortals alike. Selected by The New Yorker as one the best young writers in America, Adrian has created a singularly playful, heartbreaking, and humorous novel—a story that charts the borders between reality and dreams, love and magic, and mortality and immortality.
