{"product_id":"different-for-boys-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\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Walker Books Us\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781536228892\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2023 pg. 62\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Patrick Ness","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42599681228981,"sku":"9781536228892","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_160155d0-1491-4703-84ff-a7140666d6a5.jpg?v=1673999899","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/different-for-boys-9781536228892","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
