Book excerpt: Tom Grove's family is rich, his grandparents are famous, and he's beautiful. He can have anything he wants, but all Tom really wants is to be an ordinary boy. Like his best friend, Marissa, Tom wants to fit in, make friends and date sexy boys. It would also help if he could be free of his father's weighty expectations, his mother's insane demands, and his older brother's snide remarks. When Tom begins his first year of college, he believes he's going to come out and start a new life. But Tom's plan to come out of the closet and meet hot college boys isn't exactly foolproof. His new roommate is a straight jock, the gay club at school is made up of outcasts, and the lines between going out to dinner and a date are blurry at best. If that wasn't a challenge enough, Tom has to learn how to navigate drunken college parties, the campus social hierarchy, and the attentions of the wrong sort of boys. What begins as a journey to independence turns into a series of mishaps, love, heartache, soul searching, awkward situations and the realization that life is less like an Abercrombie & Fitch catalog and more like the everyday low prices of Wal-Mart. And to make matters worse, he still has to make it through freshman year.

Download or read book Conner an Ordinary Boy written by Ronald J. Conners and published by Trafford. This book was released on 2002 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conner is the story of an ordinary boy from a financially-strapped family in a small city in Upstate New York. His life was indeed very ordinary, and even somewhat boring. His family, though always financially struggling, was extremely rich in family love, togetherness, care and kindness. Conner never, ever thought of himself as poor. Family always came first in every family member's mind and heart. Conner learned family values, beliefs, actions, and leadership from a very special father. Dad always expected, and marveled, at the actions that young Conner seemed to take so naturally. Hidden, sometimes very cleverly, in this book is a display of highly developed problem-solving and leadership displayed by Conner, at a very young age. His seemingly natural ability to envision desired outcomes before taking any action was uncanny. Conner's ability to challenge himself with difficult and tiring tasks were seldom seen, or required of someone his age. He seldom, if ever, stopped to realize that he was doing some extraordinary things. Athletically inclined, Conner learned to blend his athletic drive with his zest for life. He was always seen smiling, a happy-go-lucky kind of boy. His smile was contagious! Conner built on his personal strengths, while correcting only the weaknesses that seemed important for living a happy life.

I am the student that is never called on in class to answer the question, and, after a while, I stop bothering to raise my hand. It is not until my stepfather shoots me that I am finally-finally-noticed. Advanced Praise for Ordinary Boy: "Ordinary Boy offers an insightful view into the life of a boy growing up under extraordinary circumstances. Its youthful optimism balances the harsh realities of a family's survival in a tale that is bravely human, heartwarming, and devastating." - Ursula Wong author of Purple Trees "In Ordinary Boy, Stacey Longo creates poignancy and meaning out of all the pangs of youth, the horrors and minor joys. With deft touches, she portrays a struggle that pulls us into the story. An excellent and absorbing tale of growing up without special privileges or abilities, just a daily striving against a lousy hand that fate has dealt." ~ Dale T. Phillips, author of the Zack Taylor mysteries "Ordinary Boy sounds the depths of youth, adolescence, and young adulthood in a voice at once deft and ghostly and heartbreaking. Huck Finn, Nick Adams, Holden Caulfield-they all would've 'got' Curtis Price perfectly." ~ David Daniel, author of Reunion and White Rabbit
