Young Adult
In Andrew Smith's novels, friends are brothers, and brothers
are friends. That bond runs deepest in Stick. Fourteen-year-old Stark McClellan (nicknamed Stick because
he's tall and thin) is bullied for being deformed—he was
born with only one ear. His older brother Bosten is always
there to defend Stick. But the boys can't defend one another
from their abusive parents. 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.
