Space

by Keith Hale

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. Keith Hale, the author of Cody known for his honest portrayals of young adult lives and sexuality, has written a beautiful story with characters readers will want to befriend.

Reviews

[TonyR · Rating 4 out of 5]

A moving story of first love delayed. It almost felt like we were over most of the tribulations and yet the cycle repeats. 5 years ago the narrative was a bit unrealistic but today quite imaginable again.

[Blanca · Rating 3 out of 5]

La historia es muy tierna y conmovedora, aunque la traducción al español es deplorable.
