In a small town, everyone thinks they know you: Charlie is a hardcore rocker who’s not as tough as he looks. Hammer is a footy jock with big AFL dreams and an even bigger ego. Zeke is a shy over-achiever, never macho enough for his family. But all three boys hide who they really are. When the truth is revealed, will it set them free or blow them apart?

Kritikerstimmen

"This is a confronting and challenging story which describes the pain of growing up gay in a small, conservative small-town community.... Sheppard has given us a brave book which deserves attention." (Good Reading)

"The book is immediately engaging and engrossing, exploring the lives of three diverse male teenagers dealing with their homosexuality.... [Invisible Boys] is distinctively Western Australian with a well-constructed and truly surprising climax. Sheppard will win himself a vast number of fans with this impressive debut." (DNA Magazine)

"Sheppard pulls no punches in this story, challenging expectations and taking the reader on a dark journey through each boy’s life, with only a sliver of light at the end providing hope for a brighter future. This book feels somewhat unmoored from time, with a raw edginess...which brings to mind books like Puberty Blues and the work of Tim Winton." (Junior Books + Publishing)

Four gay protagonists fight for their dignity in a rural Australian town.
Absolutely gripping and very well narrated.
Highly recommended.

Gripping story

Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten. Bitte versuche es in ein paar Minuten noch einmal.

Well laid out plot, engaging story.
It's sometimes a bit hard to follow the narration at first as it's not always clear who's speaking, as there are four/five 1st person narrators.
But you soon get the hang of it and discover the protagonist's individual knacks.
Highly recommend

A surprising gem
