This is a great read about a young gay man coming into his own. He's smart and is intent on letting us know that.. He's a writer and he loves playing word games almost as much as you'll love his style. His situation is quirky and his life is complex but he's charming and you quickly find yourself rooting for him. While he's smart and able to take care of himself and an athletic bully that overly drawn to tormenting him, when he meets another guy who's suffered a loss as big as his own, Sprout finds himself no longer in control and possibly entangled in problems that are too big for him without some savvy adult help. (Something that's woefully lacking in Sprout's life) The author of this book teaches writing and he's created a charming, snarky kid that displays a love of language that makes him irresistible to any apsiring writers like me. Read and enjoy!
