For sixteen-year-old Ryan, the water is where he finds his freedom. Ever since childhood, when he realized that he would never walk like other people, he has loved the water where gravity is no longer his enemy. But he never imagined he would become his small town's hero by saving a schoolmate from drowning. Jack is also attracted to the water, but for him it's the promise of permanent escape. Disappearing altogether seems better than living through one more day of high school where he is dogged by rumors about his sexuality. He's terrified that coming out will alienate him from everyone in town - and crush his adoring mother. Ryan saves Jack's life, but he also keeps his secret. Their bond leads to a grudging friendship, and an unexpected road-trip to Comic Con with Ryan's best friend Cody, the captain of the swim team. The unlikely trio ends up subverting preconceptions and prejudices of their own and of those around them."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a People with disabilities $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Closeted gays $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Suicidal behavior $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Secrecy $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Water $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Friendship $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Prejudices $v Juvenile fiction. 650 7 $a Closeted gays. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00864637 650 7 $a Friendship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00935174 650 7 $a People with disabilities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01057245 650 7 $a Prejudices. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01075260 650 7 $a Secrecy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01110644 650 7 $a Suicidal behavior. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01137568 650 7 $a Water. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01171139 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Juvenile works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411637 941 $a 2 952 $l VTPD454 $d 20190815011227.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20180601010515.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0FD082B64D0511E89A6C172A97128E48 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
