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, seventeen-year-old 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 habit. 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—if
only he can blow 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.
