Showtime's turning Perry Moore's Hero into a series?!

Woohoo!

Oh, and also ... I still have a job. The usual sucky demeaning energy-depleting waste of a job, but I still have it.

Re. Hero - I hadn't heard of it before, but it sounds interesting.

I'm a high school librarian in a small town, and am always looking for books that might help some of the more closed-minded kids ease into the larger, more accepting world...would you say this book would be suitable? By that I guess I mean - I'm hoping the hero is clearly gay, but the book isn't so graphic that I'm gonna get in trouble if some red-neck kid protests that he was 'tricked' into reading it because it was in the Sci-Fi section, rather than on the Senior Fiction shelf.

Thanks for any opinions...

Sorry to stick my nose in, but Hero isn't graphic at all, in terms of sexuality, and it has a genuine and awesome romance that's... well, *real.* As in it's people, not romance-people, if that makes any sense. I think this book is absolutely perfect for any close-minded kids out there who might be willing to open a few mental doors.

I gave it to my mom to read it, and she immediately declared it one of the best things she'd read in a while. And my mom, while not a bigot in any sense (at *all*) is usually pretty shallow and mindless in her book choices. But she was willing to babble on about this for about an hour after she read it.

Excellent, thanks - I'll put it on my 'to buy right away' list!
