Different for Boys

Different for Boys is a poignant and moving LGBTQ+ story that explores sexuality and masculinity with a touch of humour, authored by twice Carnegie Medal-winner and bestselling writer Patrick Ness.

Ant Stevenson has many questions, such as when did he stop being a virgin? Are there degrees of virginity? And is it different for boys, especially for boys who like boys?

Ant tries to figure out the answers to his questions as he balances his relationships with three very different boys: Charlie, who is both virulently homophobic and yet close friends with Ant; Jack, whose camp behaviour makes him the target of Charlie's rage; and finally Freddie, who just wants Ant to try out for the rugby team.

From the bestselling author of the Chaos Walking trilogy comes a timely and important story about inclusivity, prejudice, and friendship.
