(3) YA Originally published in paperback in 2008, this is a powerful cumulative portrait of one teen and the community that admired but couldn't quite accept him. After Joel dies on a hike in the Grand Canyon, six young adults recall their experiences with him, building a credible profile of this gay boy's life, and implicitly illustrating how difficult it is to truly know someone.
