Street Boy Dreams - Kevin Esser

 

When his final attempt at heterosexual romance ends with a whimper, Peter seeks solace in a bottle of Scotch. But It's Gito, a 14 year old street kid who sneaks into the bar selling candy, that distracts Peter's attention from his dreary love life. The lonely teacher offers Gito shelter from an abusive home. And as the defensive youngster begins to open himself to the older man, Peter feels the tug of another kind of romance. As both man and boy fight awkwardly against their growing sexual attraction, Street Boy Dreams becomes one of the most touching and unusual love affairs in literature. 199 pages

Marrying Tom -- Joseph Geraci

 

Tom is sixteen, newly arrived in Madalin, a small village in upstate New York. he is a Protestant, and a rebel with a bad reputation. Danny is thirteen and from a well establishd local family. He is a 'model Catholic boy', star pupil and member of the school swimming team. It is the fag-end of the sixties - the era of Vietnam, civil unrest, dope and The Doors. The two boys belong to rival gangs, but it is somehow inevitable that, for all their differences, the two should be drawn together - with near-fatal consequences. 228 pages

Terre Haute - Will Aitken

 

Set in the Indiana town of the same name, Terre Haute is the story of one very memorable year in the life of Jared McCaverty, a boy who has just discovered sex but has yet to discover what it means.

Yet when his thoughts of other boys begin to turn into reality, he comes to realise that sex can be a powerful weapon - especiallywhen used against a married man.

The Boys Of Swithins Hall - Chris Kent

 

The Boys Of Swithins Hall, set in an English boys' boarding school, is the story of tim Dunn's sexualawakening - in overdrive. Tim is as randy as Tom Jones, and adventurous as James Bond, and as gay as Oscar Wilde; its a nice combination. When a boy begs, "Please sir I'd like some more," you can be certain that he isn't after a second helping of gruel. If you remember with nostalgia the gay English school boy tales of the early 20th century, you will be rejuvenated by The Boys Of Swithins Hall. "Boys will be boys" has never been so sexy a promise, and a "stiffie" does not refer to fancied English inhibitions which don't appear here. 190 pages
