What is this?

Teen Scene

JANUARY 8, 2007
My Side of the Story by Will Davis
Will Davis skillfully writes his debut novel in the voice of Jarold Jones (a.k.a. Jaz). Jaz relates the drama of being sixteen, the drama of living in the not so perfect household, and the drama of coming out. Jaz tells his story in a stream-of-consciousness manner. Jaz tells it how it is, which in fact, is quite hilarious. His comments, in sometimes the most inappropriate times, bring an air of comic relief to the drama of the story. Jaz gets bullied at school, the most popular girl in school has it for him, and his best friend Al (Alice) and he have the horrible luck of running into their teacher at the gay bar. Running away with Al may be the worst idea ever, but self discovery emerges from this half-baked plan. Davis uses Jaz to put life into perspective and illustrate the trials and tribunes of being a gay teenager. Teens in grades 9-12 will fall in love with Jaz and his style regardless of their sexuality. Language, sexuality, drug abuse, and subject matter, all encompassed in this novel, make Jaz’s story appropriate for the more mature crowd. Look for this book in April 2007!
