Nick Pope: Summer of '88 - Paperback

by Christopher Stanton (Author), Raymond Klecker (Illustrator)

What happens when a boy who has been bullied for how he looks must draw his own face for the world to see?

Teenage Nick Pope has prominent birthmarks around his eyes - and he is ridiculed because of them. He quits his therapist and starts writing and drawing in his diary again, convinced he can handle his internal chaos alone.

Now he has been offered a solo gallery show of his art.

Nick is afraid to draw himself. He is scared to figure out if his feelings for his fellow artist Max mean he is gay. His family is falling apart.

Can Nick confront these challenges before the summer of 1988 runs out?
