Space

Space is a love story that rivals the best in the genre. When a young boy at a bowling alley has his cheeseburger delivered by a handsome future air force cadet, an infatuation develops so strong that three years later, when he learns the older boy's home town, he sets off on his bike to find him. The relationship that develops between the two boys is one of the most heart-warming and seductive in coming of age literature. Luke Hartwell, known for his honest portrayals of young adult sexuality and his compelling first-person narrators, has written a beautiful story with characters readers will want to befriend. This book deserves a wide audience.
