Intended Audience: This book is intended to be read by students whose ages range from 12 years and up. I enjoyed this book because it teaches students to stand up for their cause.
Lesson: Students could work in groups and decorate a stick and then use it as a talking stick. The purpose for the stick would be for students to practice taking turns listening and communicating with each other. The person holding the stick does the talking and when done passes it on for someone else to communicate on a topic being used for discussion.
Annotation: Carlos Amoroso is fifteen years old and still a virgin. He wants to hook up with Roxy, the most popular girl in school. Carlos has a plan and decides to ask Sal, a senior at the same high school. Sal is gay and agrees to give Carlos a makeover but under one condition that Carlos will help him start a Gay-Straight Alliance. Sal does help to improve Carlos room, clothes and hair. He also teaches him to stand up for himself and what he deems is right.
