Trevor A Novella

Trevor is an exuberant, sociable and witty 13-year-old. So why, when he takes that nerve-wrecking turn toward his locker at school, does he feel scared and alone? He is shunned by his friends, misunderstood by his parents and harassed at school for being different. Trevor mixes humour and realism in an urgent look at what it is like to feel alienated. And, more importantly, what critical ties can step in at the most unlikely moment, to save people from despair and give them the reason to go on living.
