(2) YA Though popular, good-looking, and athletic, sixteen-year-old Darren feels pressured and confused. His discomfort at an admiring male teacher's unwanted attention keeps him silent when a prank escalates into a serious attack on the teacher. Oates captures Darren's raw emotional responses and realistically leaves him to find his own way through peer pressures, his small community's homophobia, and his own conscience.
