Deacon Locke Went to Prom

(3) YA Tall and awkward Deacon takes his grandmother to prom, but he doesn't expect a video of them dancing to go viral. Deacon gets a reality-TV offer just when his grandmother may be losing her faculties, and minor fame also complicates his blossoming relationship with Muslim girl Soraya. Deacon's internal commentary on the story's situations and conversations displays an endearing genuineness and healthy perseverance.
