I learned about this book from: James St. James being on my myspace and shamelessly promoting it.
This book was purchased at: it wasn't. Borrowed it at the library.
This book is: fabulous!
Other books by this authors: Disco Bloodbath
Favorite characters: Billy Bloom, Flip Kelly, Mary Jane McAfferty
When and Where the story takes place: Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Plot in a nutshell: Billy is a young drag queen trying to survive high school
Main characters: Billy Bloom and Flip Kelly
What I liked best: James really captured how horrible kids can be.
What I liked least: How horrible these kids can really be to gays. It's terrible!
Overall rating: I went through something very similar to this in junior high. My whole class turned against me and called me a lesbian, although I wasn't. I felt for Billy because I knew how horrible it makes you feel to go through something like this...It's an amazing book for anyone who has ever been made fun of.
