Title: A gay kid's Narnia...
Review: I got this audio book on a whim after reading the descriptions. For one, yes, some of the actors, especially the narrator, verge on annoying. I suppose it's the unrealistic optimism and hope that exudes from every word. However, looking past the almost child-like whining, you get a sense of what life is like if you were born "normal" by today's standards. Growing up gay can be one of the hardest things for any youth, especially as it seems harder and harder to suppress yourself. High school can be a cold, unforgiving place for those that fit in, and shockingly bad for those with a secret to hide.I think this book offers a glimmer of hope, if not a way to escape into the fantasy of living your life without judgement or persecution. If you're an open, caring parent, buy this for your son or daughter, gay or straight. Let them know that their actions can help make someone's life easier, just by accepting who they are.
