Larry, Teresa, and Elliot are so tight, there's no room in their circle for any more than three: boy, girl, boy. That's just how it is. And when they graduate in a few months, they're moving to California to begin their real lives--together. Or that's the plan, anyway. But who are they fooling? Larry is gay and still trying to coming to terms with his sexuality. Teresa is tired of hanging out with two boys she loves who aren't interested in being her boyfriend. And Elliot--sweet, handsome, but not the brightest--is finally considering the idea that he may in fact like himself more when he's not in the shadow of his two best friends. From the celebrated author of Stoner &amp; Spaz and Margaux with an X, here is a wry, surprising, and insightful book about how tough it is to simply be yourself.

Amazon.com Review The solar system is a much better place because of books by Ron Koertge. Spinning common adolescent experiences into gold, Koertge captures the natural lingo and orbit of the modern teenage male. In The Boy in the Moon, he introduces us to Nick, a teen with so many craters, pockmarks, and puss-filled volcanoes on his face that he considers himself an untouchable alien from the moon. It certainly doesn't help matters that--suddenly--Nick feels his knees wobble around his best friend Frieda. It also doesn't help that Kevin, his other best friend, was transformed into a remote, golden-haired sun worshipper during a summer in Los Angeles. Romantic, lively, smart--Nick is a hero for all of us. He may even find his way back to earth! Product Description Now a senior in high school, Nick becomes confused about the changes that have been taking place in himself and his childhood friends, especially Kevin's sudden ego mania and his own feelings about Frieda. Reprint. From Publishers Weekly PW praised the author's "frank treatment of teenage concerns" in this affecting tale of a high-school triumvirate's incipient breaking apart. Ages 12-up. Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.
