Sam & Ilsa's Last Hurrah
Sam & Ilsa’s Last Hurrah By Rachel Cohn and David Levithan April 2018 ISBN 9781760293857 paperback Recommended for readers 15 years and older Summary Siblings Sam and Ilsa Kehlmann have spent most of their high school years throwing parties for their friends in their grandmother’s spectacular but soon-to-be-vacated New York apartment—and now they've prepared their final blowout, just before graduation. The rules are simple: each twin gets to invite three guests, and the other twin doesn't know who's coming until the partiers show up at the door. With Sam and Ilsa, the sibling revelry is always tempered with a large dose of sibling rivalry, and tonight is no exception. One night. One apartment. Eight people. What could possibly go wrong? Oh, we all know the answer is plenty. But plenty also goes right, as well...in rather surprising ways. Eschewing a typical introduction, the novel opens with a quote from Liberace, a flamboyant entertainer of the 1950s and 1960s, and a dinner party invitation, announcing itself along the way as an original and different take on the average YA novel. It soon settles into a dual narrative told by the Sam and Ilsa of the book's title, both gradually revealing their personalities and introducing an eccentric cast of characters via distinctive voices and points-of-view. The plot—shaped like a screwball comedy with a young adult twist—features a thoroughly modern attitude. Use in the curriculum Though there is some colourful language, drinking, dope smoking and talk about sex (it is set at a high school graduation party, after all), this novel is quite sweet and moral and suitable for use in Years 11 and 12 and in the Year 10 classroom. -
