Beskrivelse
Part comedy, part grief narrative, In the Key of Dale is a disarming coming-of-age novel about a queer teen music prodigy who discovers pieces of himself in places he never thought to look. Sixteen-year-old Dale Cardigan is a loner whos managed to make himself completely invisible at his all-boys high school. He doesnt fit with his classmates (whom he gives nicknames in his head), his stepbrother (whom nobody at school knows hes related to), or even his mother (who never quite sees how gifted a musician Dale might be)but they dont fit with him, either. And hes fine with that. To him, high school and home are stages to endure until his real life can finally begin.Somewhat against his will, he befriends his classmate Rusty, who gets a rare look at Dales complex life outside school, but their friendship is made awkward when Dale is uncertain whether his growing attraction to Rusty is one-sided. Still, its to Rusty that Dale turns when he stumbles upon a family secret that shakes everything he thought he knew.An epistolary novel written in the form of letters to his late father, In the Key of Dale is a beguiling, pitch-perfect book about growing up, fitting in, and finding a way out of grief and loneliness toward the melodic light of adulthood.Ages 14 and up.This publication meets the EPUB Accessibility requirements and it also meets the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG-AA).
