Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story

Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story by David Levithan, 200 pages


This is written as though it were a musical, chronicling the life of Tiny Cooper from birth through high school.  Tiny is a very large, very gay teen.  He is out and proud but desperate to find love.  The first act is about his younger life and the second act is mostly high school, and about all of the boys he’s dated.  There is a lot of humor along with a lot of universal truths in this story.  A lot of teens will probably like it, possibly even reluctant readers, because it is fairly short and has a lot of white space so it’s a pretty quick read.
