Portrait of the Artist as a Young Swamp Thing

3/5 ( ratings)

Artistic Shane had hoped to spend his vacation looking cool and impressing the cool kids, but instead he’s stuck with his parents in a lakeside house...and being forced to share his room with Chase, a family friend whom he doesn’t remember as anyone interesting at all. But Shane cannot deny that since last they met Chase has become rather handsome. But why is Chase so obsessed with the local frogs? Why can't he be more normal, more like the other guys? But the boys have a lot more in common than Shane understands at first, and only slowly does he realize they might share something special.

"Ann Zeddies has a real ability to capture the voice of a young gay teen trying so hard to be a part of the cool crowd. Shane is such a genuine voice, a kid who knows he’s not what the other kids want, but not quite at the point of realizing it might be more powerful not to care what they think. And the romance here, while just budding, has the perfect pace for a short fiction piece, and gives the reader just enough to satisfy. Shane’s dialog feels snappy and clever without nudging too far out of the realm of realism." - 'Nathan Burgoine, author of Light
