(1) YA Eighteen-year-old gay teen James wants to use his college money to buy a house in the Midwest. The heart of the matter is a desire to stay safe; 9/11 happened outside his classroom window. Cameron, a respected author of adult fiction, has written a spare, spacious, quietly dazzling book. It's Catcher in the Rye in a different voice--witty, reflective, terse.
