Stick
When Stick realizes Bosten is gay, he knows that to survive his father's anger, Bosten must leave home. Stick has to find his brother, or he will never feel whole again. In his search, he will encounter good people, bad people, and people who are simply indifferent to kids from the wrong side of the tracks. But he never loses hope of finding love – and his brother.
I need a hug. And I love Andrew Smith, because the way he writes is so insanely honest that I always connect with his stories, whether they're straightforward and more serious, like this, or bizarre and stylized like Grasshopper Jungle. He writes characters who carve holes inside my chest, then take up residence in the empty spaces.
Nicely written book. I really enjoyed it!The format on the kindle was off a little with big spaces at times in the middle of sentences which made it difficult to read. For a $10 ebook I wouldn't expect these types of problems.
Stick is an abused teen. His parents are controlling, unloving, physically and mentally abusive. While Stick could react by being angry, bitter, mean and abusive himself, instead he is kind, gentle, loving, and he cherishes the small acts of kindness that neighbors, friends and others give to him.Stick still suffers from those horrible growing pains from child to teen. His "growing" attraction to all things female, made me laugh. Stick's desire to try out scenes from a stolen Penthouse magazine
Stick By Andrew Smith (published by first Macmillian, New York, NY in 2011) Is a very emotional and horrifying read. 13 year old Stark McClellan and his brother, 16 year old Bosten McClellan have an unordinary life that no teenage boy should ever have to live. Stark McClellan also known as Stick is 6ft tall and only has one ear. He isn't your average 13 year old boy, but with the protection of his older brother Bosten, he has nothing to worry about. Stick idolizes Bosten. He keeps his deepest
3.5/5It read like the Perks of Being a Wallflower but had me reeling the same way I did with Smith's Marburry Lens after that kidnap-grope scene. This one had me angry and hurting for all of them, all at once... particularly the first half. The jump into the second half had me reeling for other reasons though. Specifically, where had Dahlia been all their lives? That alone had me a little bi more angry. To think of all the things they'd gone through with such horrible people! When all the while
Extraordinary. Full stop.

"Heartbreak" - that's how they call it.This is how I feel now, this is what this book might cause to you too.It should come with a note saying: 'open at your own risk' or 'put your heart aside because it might shatter'.It should come with a happy pill for you to take, it should come with Stick and Bosten in a cute package - such that you could take them in your arms and hold them close to your heart, such that you could hug their pain away.Oh, this story is really sad... No no no.. 'Sad' isI need a hug.
