Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
★"Immediately takes one's breath away with its poetry and power...Deeply affecting. An ideal tool to illustrate poetic elements or emphasize stories of sharing scary yet necessary truths."--School Library Journal, starred review
A young teen's secret is tearing him apart.
He knows he is gay but is afraid to share this knowledge with his parents or his friends. What if they reject him? And what can he do with the feelings he has for his childhood friend when he knows his friend does not feel the same way? The turmoil continues to rise with the force of a hurricane--total destruction seems almost certain.
Told in beautiful, evocative prose with its unique design, Like A Hurricaneis a visually stunning exploration of what it means to be true to one's self.
