Description
Eyes to see. A heart to listen. Silence collides with chaos. Openly gay and attention-crazy Charlie Rascal doesn't mean to expose the secret of his quiet, broody classmate Aubrey Keats-who keeps his struggles as silent as the world around him. It was all in good fun, but this time, Charlie crosses a line that can't be brushed off with a little sass or dry wit. When rumours spread and high-school drama unfolds, Charlie finds himself chasing more than just redemption. He's drawn to the late-night conversations, the stolen glances across the classroom, and that magnetic pull neither can seem to resist. As their masks slip and leave them exposed, Aubrey and Charlie must decide: cover back up, or let themselves be seen-even heard-for who they really are. A bold and poignant YA LGBTQ romance, Ratbags & Scallywags is a contemporary coming-of-age novel about first love, vulnerability, courage, and forgiveness.
