Boomerang: A Story about Love, Identity, and the Courage to Come Home
Autor Helene Dunbaren Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 noi 2026 – vârsta până la 18 ani
Five years ago, Michael Sterling disappeared from his small Maine town. Now he’s seventeen, living under a new name—Sean Woodhouse—and trying to hold on to the life and love he’s built.
Returning “home” is the last thing Sean wants, but it may be the only way to secure a future with Trip, the boy who means everything to him. As he reconnects with the town and the people he left behind, Sean is forced to confront the truth about who he was, who he is, and who he wants to become.
Torn between two lives and two identities, Sean must navigate love, loyalty, and self-acceptance in this emotional LGBTQ+ coming-of-age story about finding where you belong—and having the courage to claim it.

Recenzii
Praise for Boomerang:
"This is a gorgeous examination of the painful and delicate connections formed in the midst of trauma and desperation. A caustic read in many ways, but one that will resonate with readers across a range of experiences and backgrounds." —Booklist
“This is a quietly intense novel about friendship, love, and what it means to be a family. . . . Hand to fans of Adam Silvera’s books and Carrie Mesrobian’s Cut Both Ways.” —School Library Journal
"One young man coming to terms with who he was, who he is, and particularly, with whom he wants to be romantically. Though secondary characters take a backseat to Sean’s self-discovery, brief glimpses of their backgrounds are enough to satisfy the reader. The book’s idyllic resolution will appeal to fans of romance. Hand this dramatic coming-of-age tale to introspective teens seeking a contemporary puzzle." —VOYA
