{"product_id":"different-for-boys-patrick-ness-9781536228892","title":"Different for Boys","description":"\u003cb\u003eFriendship, masculinity, sex--Anthony Stevenson has a lot of questions. Is it different for boys who like boys? A poignant and frank story filled with meta-humor by renowned author Patrick Ness. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnthony \"Ant\" Stevenson isn't sure when he stopped being a virgin. Or even if he has. The rules aren't always very clear when it comes to boys who like boys. In fact, relationships of all kinds feel complicated, even with Ant's oldest friends. There's Charlie, who's both virulently homophobic and in a secret physical relationship with Ant. Then there's drama kid Jack, who may be gay and has become the target of Charlie's rage. And, of course, there's big, beautiful Freddie, who wants Ant to ditch soccer, Charlie's sport, and try out for the rugby team instead. Ant's story of loneliness and intimacy, of unexpected support and heart-ripping betrayal, is told forthrightly with tongue-in-cheek black-bar redactions over the language that teenagers would \u003ci\u003eactually \u003c\/i\u003euse if, you know, they weren't in a story. Award-winning author Patrick Ness explores teen sexuality, friendship, and romance with a deft hand in this structurally daring, illustrated short novel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick Ness\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1536228893\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781536228892\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Walker Books Us\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 6.30w x 0.79d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e521357 \/ Different for Boys\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2023 pg. 62\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/30\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2023 - Book Of Special Distinction\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/17\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2023 pg. 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBookPage\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2023 - Superior,Well Above Average","brand":"Patrick Ness","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44071607566591,"sku":"9781536228892","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_92b95a67-48a1-4a3d-9940-42bb51700422.jpg?v=1685437106","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/different-for-boys-patrick-ness-9781536228892","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
