Welcome to Litsy!

In this YA pop punk debut about queer romance and destroying labels, a teen risks everything to write his own story. Perfect for fans of Sonora Reyes and Adib Khorram. Stonebridge High�s resident bad boy, Wesley �Big Mac� Mackenzie, is failing senior year�thanks to his unchecked anger, rowdy friends, and a tendency to ditch his homework for skateboarding and a secret photography obsession. So when his mom drags him to a production of The Nutcracker, Wes isn�t interested at all . . . until he sees Tristan Monroe. Mr. Nutcracker himself. Wes knows he shouldn�t like Tristan; after all, he�s a ballet dancer, and Wes is as closeted as they come. But when they start spending time together, Wes can�t seem to get Tristan out of his head. Driven by a new sense of purpose, Wes begins to think that�despite every authority figure telling him otherwise�maybe he can change for the better and graduate on time. As a falling out with his friends becomes inevitable, Wes realizes that being himself means taking a stand�and blowing up the bad-boy reputation he never wanted in the first place. From a debut author to watch, Skater Boy delivers a heart-wrenching, validating, and honest story about what it means to be gay in a world where you don�t fit in.
