Invisible Boys

Author(s): Holden Sheppard

Young Adult

An emotional tale of identity, sexuality and suicide derived from personal experience about three teenage boys who struggle to come to terms with their homosexuality in a small Western Australian town. On the surface, nerd Zeke, punk Charlie and footy wannabe Hammer look like they have nothing in common. But scratch that surface and you'd find three boys in the throes of coming to terms with their homosexuality in a town where it is invisible. Invisible Boys is a raw, confronting YA novel that explores the complexities and trauma of rural gay identity with painful honesty, devastating consequences and, ultimately, hope.

Review by Fantine;


'Charlie, Zeke, and Hammer seem like they have nothing in common- they come from different cultures, classes, and run in different social circles. All have been raised in a small Western Australian town that views vulnerability as the ultimate weakness, and all three are bound together by a secret they believe will ruin their lives. A raw, moving debut about how dangerously suffocating toxic masculinity is, and the often irreversible consequences of young men forced to suffer in silence. An incredibly important novel I read in one sitting. Highly recommended.'
