Donovan didn't mean for this to happen. When he left his book on the counter, he didn't think his mom would read it - much less have a problem with it. But before Donovan even has the chance to hear her point of view, his mom is trying to get the book removed from the district curriculum. Interspersed with this thread, readers will experience chapters of the banned book itself - and the coming out and first love story of its author. 9+ David Levithan's explosive new novel!.
