Boy like me / by Green, Simon James,author.;
In the margins of a book's pages, sparks fly as a teenage romance begins. But in this time and place, sparks like that can only ignite trouble. It's 1994 and thanks to Section 28, there can be no mention of gay relationships in UK schools. When a kind librarian leads Jamie to a disguised novel in the library that reflects his confused feelings towards boys, Jamie sees that he's not the only one who has checked the book out. Will Jamie and this mystery boy have the courage to meet--and if they do, what will it take to hold on to each other?
