Description
Glitter Boy by Ian Eagleton is a poignant and uplifting story about finding joy and love in the face of adversity. When James's father expresses discomfort with his teacher, Mr Hamilton, getting married to his boyfriend, and James's own identity as a dancer and poet, James feels like he's losing his characteristic spark. Meanwhile, a different boy has been harassing him at school, calling him gay, and it's getting worse every day. James finds solace in his beloved Nan, who is struggling with worrying falls, but even she can't be told about the secrets James is keeping. As the secrets build up, James must find the strength to let the truth out. This raw and timely novel explores themes of family, friends, enemies, and being true to oneself. A heart-warming and character-led story, Glitter Boy is a nuanced exploration of identity, love, and acceptance that will resonate with readers.
