(4) YA Orca Soundings series. Derek, seventeen, overweight, a high school dropout who doesn't get along with his gruff dad, is struggling to come out. A new job as an attendant in a nursing home helps him come to terms with himself and his relationship with an online boyfriend. Though it sometimes slips into melodrama, the story effectively displays Derek's angst.
