About This Book

Five-year-old Simon, along with his parents and older sister Amy, go to a carnival one day. When a sudden deluge separates the family and leaves Simon alone and frightened, the child undergoes a journey of maturation as he searches for his parents and sister.

Wandering through the ruined carnival, Simon encounters rain-soaked clowns, muddied carnival-goers, and a special young boy named Brian, who's also lost. The longer Simon stays in the carnival and the rain that continues to threaten everyone's fun, the more he learns about life, and he leaves the carnival a man with hopeful prospects ahead of him.

Clouds' Illusions is a modern fairy tale, a metaphor for a young gay man's coming-of-age with all its illusions and truths, and the wisdom that comes from the marriage of rain and sun.
