Skater Boy follows Wesley "Big Mac" McKenzie, the schools resident "bad boy" -and closeted gay boy- as he falls for a cute ballet dancer, forcing him to question what he wants to do and be in life.
The romance was cute but I loved that there was so much to this story than that. We see Wes grow in so many ways and find where he belongs at school, with his friends, with his mother and step dad... It was inspiring and encouraging.
