Smith, Andrew. Stand Off. New York: Simon and Schuster BFYR, Print. ISBN: Image from: www.doorway.ru When we last saw Ryan Dean West, his best friend Joey Cosentino had just died under horrific circumstances, and Ryan Dean was struggling to grieve. Fast forward to the following September, and it's Ryan Dean's. Stand-Off starts off with a darker and more serious undertone than that of Winger, but if you are familiar with the writing style of Andrew Smith, you know that there is always a little bit of quirky comic relief just around the corner. Enter Sam Abernathy, Ryan Dean's new 12 year old freshman roommate. His rugby coach expects him to fill the roles once played by his lost friend, Joey, as the rugby team's stand-off and new captain. And somehow he's stuck rooming with twelve-year-old freshman Sam Abernathy, a cooking whiz with extreme claustrophobia and a serious crush on Annie Altman—aka Ryan Dean's girlfriend, for now, anyway.
