Rainbow Road
Alex Sanchez Simon and Schuster © 2005 |
The book I have read is called “Rainbow Road”. It was written by Alex Sanchez. The book is about three gay guys, Nelson, Jason, and Kyle, who go on a road trip to California. Jason is traveling to California to speak at an alternative gay/lesbian high school. He lost his basketball scholarship because he “came out” to his basketball team. Kyle is Jason’s boyfriend. Nelson is Kyle’s best friend. Nelson has bright pink hair and is constantly snapping his fingers and proclaiming “don’t go there girlfriend”. On their wild road trip they encounter several variations of gay/lesbian people such as a boy living as a girl, a couple in a long term relationship, and homophobic people. I think this is a very good book because it is honest and fun at the same time. This was one of the best books I have ever read. I think that mature high school students would enjoy reading this book. Again, it was very enjoyable.
