Different for Boys
Patrick Ness
High school student Ant, also called Anthony Stevenson, struggles to make sense of friendship, romance, and sexuality. He has questions about masculinity, sex, and what it means to be a boy attracted to boys. The book presents his effort to understand those relationships and aspects of himself. Spare prose, rough pencil sketches, and redacted phrases shape the telling. Its form makes Ant's uncertainty part of how the story is presented.
