He doesn't fit with his classmates (whom he gives nicknames in his head), his stepbrother (whom nobody at school knows he's related to), or even his mother (who never quite sees how gifted a musician Dale might be)--but they don't fit with him, either. And he's fine with that. To him, high school and home are stages to endure until his real life can finally begin. Somewhat against his will, he befriends his classmate Rusty, who gets a rare look at Dale's complex life outside school, but their friendship is made awkward when Dale is uncertain whether his growing attraction to Rusty is one-sided. Still, it's to Rusty that Dale turns when he stumbles upon a family secret that shakes everything he thought he knew. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn epistolary novel written in the form of letters to his late father, \u003ci\u003eIn the Key of Dale\u003c\/i\u003e is a beguiling, pitch-perfect book about growing up, fitting in, and finding a way out of grief and loneliness toward the melodic light of adulthood.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAges 14 and up.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benjamin Lefebvre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1551529033\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781551529035\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arsenal Pulp Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Benjamin Lefebvre","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44068587176191,"sku":"9781551529035","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c7a1173a-b25e-4d78-9e29-ad207aebc394.jpg?v=1685419869","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-the-key-of-dale-benjamin-lefebvre-9781551529035","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
