My Side of the Story

Jarold, or “Jaz”, is 16. His mother is a lawyer and control freak, his father a chef rather given to passivity. All hell breaks loose when they find out that Jaz has been visiting a gay bar – they are not as liberal as they like to think. How did they find out? Jaz’s goody-goody sister told on him, and now the story is all over the school. This is a fresh and funny novel about growing up gay, with absolutely no help from a mad family. Davis (who won this year’s Betty Trask Award), gives his narrator a wonderfully wry outlook. Be warned – you are entering the mind of a teenager.
